The process of transforming cartilage into bone

• osteoid

• epiphysis

• red marrow

• endochondral ossification

A major site of blood cell and platelet formation

• osteoid

• osteoblast

• yellow marrow

• red marrow

This consists of bones, teeth, joints, and structures that connect bones to other bones or muscles

• flat bones

• skeletal system

• digestive sysem

• long bones

Match the following

• mandible

• largest bone in the rear leg of an animal

• femur

• The enlarged end of a long bone

• osteoid

• These are typically thinner than others and are usually curved

• flat

• This makes up the lower jaw

• epiphysis

• Substance that is primarily collagen, which gives bone high tensile strength

The enlarged end of a long bone

• synovial joint

• diaphysis

• osteoid

• epiphysis

A substance that is primarily collagen, which gives bone its high tensile strength

• red marrow

• diaphysis

• osteoid

• epiphysis

These are typically thinner than others and are usually curved
