Skeletal System

1. a space between the bones of the skull in an infant or fetus, where ossification is not complete
3. a small channel or duct
6. a hyaline cartilage plate in the metaphysis at each end of a long bone
10. occurs when the cartilage model also grows in thickness due to the addition of more extracellular matrix on the peripheral cartilage surface
11. the formation of bone
12. the shaft or central part of a long bone
13. the soft tissue found between the articular capsule (joint capsule) and the joint cavity of synovial joints.
15. a cell that secretes the matrix for bone formation
17. the formation and development of blood cells
18. the apposition or formation of new bone as a normal physiologic process
19. the most common and most movable type of joint

2. a bone cell, formed when an osteoblast becomes embedded in the matrix it has secreted
3. a cell that has secreted the matrix of cartilage and become embedded in it
4. A cyclical process by which bone maintains a dynamic steady state through resorption and formation of a small amount of bone at the same site.
5. bone marrow mainly made up of fat cells
7. a dense layer of vascular connective tissue enveloping the bones except at the surfaces of the joints
8. a haversian canal with the concentrically arranged laminae of bone that surround it
9. an opening, hole, or passage, especially in a bone
14. a type of continuous, slightly movable joint
16. the process or action by which something is reabsorbed
