Across
  1. 1. Flattened Plates of compact bone. EX: Ribs, pelvis, scapula, sternum, skull.
  2. 3. A layer outside the bone.
  3. 5. The first connective tissue in the skeletal system(like duct tape for the skeletal system). Collagen (provides strength in alignment).Elastin (provides flexibility to the ligament).
  4. 9. A bone with a bunch of holes in it near the end of the bone.
  5. 10. A small rounded projection on a bone. EX; tibial tubercle
  6. 11. A rope that connects the muscle to the bone.(decrease in collagen and increase in elastin)
  7. 12. The dense hard layer outside of the bone.
  8. 13. The middle of a long bone.
  9. 15. When a bone is longer than it is wide.
  10. 16. Oddly shaped, Asymmetrical. Thick, blocky. EX: Calcaneus, Pelvis, Scapula.
  11. 17. A connective tissue in the skeletal system that is padding and protects(adipose).
  12. 18. Bones formed within a tendon EX:Patella (kneecap) Free floating bone. Sesamoids(big toe)
  13. 19. A hollow part of that bone that has bone marrow.
  14. 20. The end of a long bone.
Down
  1. 2. The appendicular skeleton contains all of our limbs and the pelvis.
  2. 4. A connective tissue of the skeletal system. It is the cushion for joints.
  3. 6. Wider than it is long. EX:Tarsals(Foot) Carpals(Wrist)
  4. 7. A compressible but resilient type of cartilage. Can act as a shock absorber at joints(Intervertebral Disc)
  5. 8. Imbetween the Diaphysis and Epiphysis.
  6. 14. The growth part of the bone.
