  • the process of hardening
  • thin, often curved plates
  • most important bones of body movement
  • approximately equal in length and width, produce limited gliding movements(
  • complex and variable shapes
  • tiny holes through which blood vessels penetrate into the bone.
  • thin layer of reticular connective tissue lining the internal surface of the bones;
  • continually multiply and produce osteoblasts.
  • bone-forming cells
  • mature osteoblasts trapped in the matrix
  • bone-dissolving macrophages
  • Transverse passages that connect central canals.
  • Site of production of all types of blood cells.
  • mainly fat
  • include the skull, vertebral column, and thoracic cage
  • 1-7 real; 8,9 & 10 are false; 11 & 12 are floating
  • Bones in the skull are joined by sutures
  • Holes where blood vessels and nerves pass
  • bone in your lower arm directly under your thumb
