Skeletal
Across
- 2. Type of vertebrae in the neck; majority of mammals all have seven.
- 4. Type of bones that form long bones from hyaline cartilage; has growth plates.
- 6. The long bone in the upper arm.
- 7. Bone in the skull that houses the external acoustic meatus (the ear canal).
- 8. The short bone commonly called the "kneecap."
- 11. Type of cartilage found where bones meet (in joints).
- 15. Bone forming cell.
- 16. Longest bone in the body.
- 17. The forehead bone; very superficial, houses paranasal sinuses.
- 21. Vascular, fibrous membrane of a long bone, found around diaphysis.
- 22. Type of girdle in the hip, made of two bones, allows the attachment of lower appendages.
- 24. Blood cell formation.
- 26. Expanded/head portion of a long bone; made of spongy bone.
- 28. Soft spots in the intramembranous bones of an infant skull; allows for head to be more flexible during exit from birth canal.
- 30. The superficial breastbone and center of thoracic cage.
- 31. A bone cell.
Down
- 1. Hollow cavities in cranial bones that make the skull more lightweight and helps resonate voice.
- 3. Cylindrical bones that make up the fingers and toes.
- 5. My favorite history teacher that gets the majority brunt of my jokes.
- 9. Types of bone include: long, flat, irregular, and (?).
- 10. Most freely moveable joint - consists of a rounded bone end that articulates with a cup-shaped socket.
- 12. Childhood disease where bones fail to calcify, causing legs to bow.
- 13. The type of calcium salt found in bone matrix that provides rigidity.
- 14. Type of girdle in the shoulder, made of four bones, allows attachment of upper appendages.
- 18. Bone resorbing cell (breaks bone down).
- 19. Sight of blood cell formation; found in spongy bone.
- 20. Types of bones that form in the skull; formed from broad, flat sheets of fibrous connective tissue.
- 23. Larger of the two bones in the lower leg.
- 25. Hollow shaft of a long bone; made of cortical bone.
- 27. Tiny, hollow cavities that bone cells reside in.
- 29. A cylindrical unit of mature bone that houses a Haversian Canal where blood run.
