Across
  1. 3. a type of cartilage that withstands compression for weightbearing areas like intervertebral discs
  2. 6. the four main parts of the skeletal system; bons, cartilage, ligaments, and CT
  3. 10. spongy bone found in flat bones of skull
  4. 11. a type of cartilage that attaches ribs to sternum and covers the ends of bones
  5. 12. a shape of bones that is greater in length than width; femur and humerus
  6. 17. a shape of bone with elaborate or complex structure; like vertebrae
  7. 20. blood cell production; found in red marrow CT
  8. 21. a type of bone tissue, called cancellous or trabecular, internal to cortical bone
  9. 22. a shape of bones that's length is near its width; carpals and tarsals
Down
  1. 1. a type of bone tissue, called dense or cortical bone; about 80%
  2. 2. semirigid CT with two types, more flexible than bone
  3. 4. knobby region on the end of long bones; proximal vs distal
  4. 5. tough sheath covering outer surface of bone; attached to bone by collagen fibers
  5. 7. the cartilage that covers the joint surfaces to reduce friction and absorb shock
  6. 8. primary organs of the skeletal system; rigid framework of the body
  7. 9. the marrow cavity of long bones; hollow, contains red marrow for child, yellow for adult
  8. 13. support and protection, movement levers, hematopoiesis, storage of minerals
  9. 14. elongated, usually cylindrical shaft of long bone; compact bone with spicules of spongy
  10. 15. a shape of bone; notably, the cranial bones
  11. 16. dense, regular CT that connects bones to other bones
  12. 18. dense, regular CT that connects bones to muscles
  13. 19. region where the bone widens and transfers between shaft and end of bone
