anatomy
Across
- 2. - A slightly moveable joint.
- 3. - Every such crack or break in bone constitutes
- 8. Skeleton - Bones, limbs, and pectoral and pelvic girdles, which attach the limbs to the trunk.
- 10. - A basic functional unit compact bone.
- 11. - Surrounds central marrow cavity, loose connective tissue.
- 12. Bone - (Cancellous) bone, resembles a network of bony rods or struts separated by spaces.
- 13. - An Immovable joint.
- 16. - Tendon or ligaments rub against other tissue. Small packets of connective tissue containing synovial fluid, reduction of friction.
- 17. - Exists wherever two bones meet.
- 18. - The process of replacing other tissues with bone.
- 20. - Joining bone to bone, may be found outside or inside the joint capsule.
- 21. Fluid - Within the joint, the cavity provides lubrication that reduces friction between the moving surfaces in the joint.
Down
- 1. - Freely moveable joint or synovial joint.
- 4. - Mature bone cells. They maintain normal bone structure by recycling the calcium salts.
- 5. - A long bone has a central shaft, surrounding a central marrow cavity, containing bone marrow.
- 6. - Expanded portions at each end, covered by articular cartilage.
- 7. - Cartilage that acts as a cushion between the shinbone and thighbone.
- 8. Skeleton - Creates a framework that supports and protects organ systems in the brain, spinal cavities, and ventral body cavities. Also provides an extensive surface area for attachment of muscles.
- 9. - Outer surface of a bone is covered by..
- 14. - Cells responsible for production of new bone, a process called osteogenesis. Osteoblasts produce new bone matrix and promote the deposition of calcium salts in organic matrix.
- 15. - Giant cells with 50 or more nuclei. Acids and enzymes secreted by osteoclasts dissolve the bony matrix..
- 19. Bone - (Dense bone) Relatively solid.
