Chapter 6, 7 & 8 Review Sheet
Osseous Tissue and the Skeletal System
On Friday, you have an exam covering chapters 6, 7 & 8. Use the following as a guide for the
test. I WILL BE COLLECTING THIS SHEET ON FRIDAY. IT IS WORTH 20 POINTS. If
you miss the exam, it MUST be made up the week that you return from break, or you will be
