Across
- 1. medullary cavity's delicate membranous lining
- 4. bone that is Small and round; embedded in tendon
- 6. The outer surface of the bone is covered with a fibrous membrane
- 9. bone that is cube-like, approximately equal in length, width, and thickness.
- 11. bone that is cylindrical in shape, being longer than it is wide
- 12. an area of a bone that projects above the surface of the bone

- 15. is the tubular shaft that runs between the proximal and distal ends of the bone
- 16. bone that is somewhat of a misnomer because, although a flat bone is typically thin, it is also often curved.
- 17. growth plate
Down
- 2. small openings in the diaphysis
- 3. undifferentiated with high mitotic activity and they are the only bone cells that divide
- 5. filled with yellow marrow
- 7. hard, dense connective tissue that forms most of the adult skeleton, the support structure of the body.
- 8. a thin layer of cartilage that reduces friction and acts as a shock absorber.
