  1. 3. A protein that provides elasticity to skin, tendons, ligaments, and other structures.
  2. 4. Bone that makes up the upper region of the arm
  3. 5. Triangular bone located below the lumbar spine ; Composed of five vertebrae that fuse together as the body develops into adulthood
  4. 8. Joint, uniaxial joint allowing movement predominantly in one direction. Joints such as the elbow, interphalangeal (toe), and ankle are considered this. (two words)
  5. 12. bone, small bones embedded in a joint capsule or found in locations where a tendon passes over a joint. (two words)
  6. 14. Joints joints that no joint capsule, fibrous connective tissue, or cartilage in the uniting structure. Little to no movement , More for stability purposes And example would be the sutures of the skull. (two words and plural)
  7. 15. one of the two bones that make up the forearm- on the side of the pinky
  8. 16. joints, the type of joint when the condyle of one bone fits into the elliptical cavity of another bone to form the joint (two words and plural)
  9. 18. Form a flexible framework and provide support and motion for the head
  10. 19. special cells that break down and remove old bone tissue.
  11. 22. Twelve vertebrae located in the upper and middle back behind the ribs , Each vertebra articulates with a rib helping form the rear anchor of the rib cage , Larger than cervical vertebrae and increase in size from top to bottom
  12. 23. the end of long bones that contains red marrow that produces red blood cells and is also one of the primary sites for bone growth
  13. 26. the description of bone movement (e.g., flexion and extension). Movement of a limb that is visible.
  14. 28. joint, non axial- a joint that moves in only one plane, either back and forth or side to side
  15. 30. fibrous tissues that connect bone to bone and provide static and dynamic stability.
  16. 31. made up of the skull, rib cage, and vertebral column ; Approximately 80 bones
  17. 34. Cord, Bundle of nerves housed within the vertebrae. (two words)
  18. 36. joint, joint named after its appearance. One bone looks like a saddle with the articulating bone straddling it like a rider. This joint is only found in the carpometacarpal joint in the thumb. (two words)
  19. 37. LAW, Scientific explanation of how remodeling (new bone growth) occurs along the lines of stress placed on the bone. (two words)
  20. 38. and socket joint, the most mobile of the joints. They allow movement in all three directions. Examples of these joints are the shoulder and hip ( 4 words)
  21. 41. Bone, Short bones are similar in length and width and appear somewhat cubical in shape. (two words)
  22. 42. the description of joint movement or the description of joint surface movement (i.e., the interaction between two bone surfaces); Consists of three major types: roll, slide, and spin.
  23. 43. The bone that makes up the thigh bone
  24. 44. Shin Bone
Down
  1. 1. discs, In between the vertebrae are ______________ ______________ made of fibrous cartilage that act as shock absorbers and allow the spine to move (two words)
  2. 2. Composed of three to five small fused bones
  3. 6. A protein found in connective tissue, muscles, and skin that provides strength and structure. It is the most abundant protein in the human body.
  4. 7. flattened or indented portions of the bone.
  5. 9. poor nutrition and physical inactivity contribute to __________________, which has a negative effect on skeletal health and human movement
  6. 10. are when one bone joins with another bone and allows movement.
  7. 11. the bones that make up the fingers
  8. 13. cavity, the central cavity of bone shafts where marrow is stored (two words)
  9. 17. The process by which bone is constantly renewed by the resorption and formation of the bone structure.
  10. 20. Support most of the body’s weight and are attached to many back muscles
  11. 21. joints, joints with a fluid-filled joint capsule. They are the most common joints associated with human movement. (two words and plural)
  12. 24. projections protruding from the bone to which tendons and ligaments can attach. (plural)
  13. 25. Bone, Long, cylindrical shaft with irregular or widened ends
  14. 27. Made up of the arms, legs, and pelvic girdle ; Approximately 126 bones
  15. 29. Bone, Thin bones comprising two layers of compact bone tissue surrounding a layer of spongy bone tissue (two words)
  16. 32. special cells that form and lay down new bone tissue
  17. 33. A condition of reduced bone mineral density, which increases risk of bone fracture
  18. 35. a groove in a bone that allows soft tissue (i.e., muscle, tendons, and ligaments) to pass through.
  19. 39. column, consists of a series of irregularly shaped bones called vertebrae that house the spinal cord (two words)
  20. 40. one of the two bones that make up the forearm- on the thumb side
