link to chapter 5 wordle: http://www.wordle.net/show/wrdl/4711228/Untitled
I made the word skeletal system the biggest, as the chapter centers around the skeletal system. It is divided into two parts, the axial skeleton and appendicular skeleton, which are the next biggest words. The two types of bone tissue are compact bone and spongy bone (where the marrow and red blood cells are formed.) Bones can be classified either as long bones, short bones, flat bones, or irregular bones depending on their shape. The structure of the long bone includes the diaphysis/shaft, the epiphyses (ends of the bones.) Bone cells can be osteocytes, osteoblasts, or osteoclasts. Osteocytes are mature bone cells, osteoblasts are bone-forming cells, and osteoclasts are bone-destroying cells. Osteoblasts play a role in ossification/bone formation and bone remodeling (healing of a bone fracture). Osteoclasts break down old tissue.
