Skeletal Anatomy
Across
- 1. This joint type has articulating surfaces which are nearly flat which allows a sliding motion.
- 2. This is the cartilage at one end of a bone.
- 4. This is a category of bones that have peculiar forms.
- 8. This type of blood cell fights infection.
- 10. These types of joints are found between bones that come in close contact with one another.
- 12. This is a bone porous bone tissue with mineral deposits.
- 14. These types of joints have a full range of motion.
- 16. This is a slightly movable joint which is formed by adjacent vertebrae separated by intervertebral disks.
- 20. This ossifies over time to form bone.
- 21. These bones are used to change direction o a tendon.
- 22. This movable joint type is where one bone fits the elliptical cavity of another.
Down
- 1. This is a non-movable joint which is fastened at the jaw.
- 3. This type of joint allows the head to have the ability to move side to side.
- 5. This type of blood cells carry oxygen.
- 6. This process changes the cartilage at the end of the bone, into actual bone to lengthen and strengthen it.
- 7. These types of joints have little movement.
- 9. This type of slightly movable joints is held together by cartilage and upon growth completion it is converted into bone.
- 11. This is the outer most layer of the bone
- 13. This is a non-movable joint where bones are held together by a long tissue which forms an interosseous ligament.
- 15. Where two bones meet, this occurs.
- 17. These cells circulate in blood and clot to stop bleeding.
- 18. This non-movable joint type is found between flat bones such as the skull.
- 19. This movable joint type is formed at bones which have both concave and convex surfaces.
