bone physiology
Across
- 3. developed in tendons, mostly bone, often mixed with fibrous tissue and cartilage
- 5. surgical realignment of broken bone ends
- 8. nonbony debris at the fracture site is removed by
- 10. a joint is to bend it or decrease the angle between bones of the joint
- 17. conduits for supplying the bone marrow with the raw materials it needs to produce blood
- 18. a break common in children, bone splinters, but break is incomplete
- 19. site of compact bone in the adult
- 20. the bone callus is initially composed of what bone?
Down
- 1. articulating bones are connected by fibrous tissue
- 2. smooth, slippery, porous, malleable, insensitive, and bloodless
- 4. where bones connect, all bones move here, classified as immovable, partly movable, freely movable
- 6. inside our hollow bones, spongy center core
- 7. consists of numerous repeating lamellar units
- 9. located between thyroid follicles, secrete calcitonin, which decreases plasma calcium by inhibiting resorption and enhancing deposition in bone
- 11. the end of a long bone
- 12. a joint that isn't commonly found in the axial skeleton
- 13. all the bodys new red blood cells
- 14. "residences of osteocytes"
- 15. longer in one axis than in another, they are characterized by a medullary cavity, a hollow diaphysis of compact bone, and at least 2 epiphyses
- 16. bone cells that liquefy bone matrix and release calcium to the blood are called
