  1. 2. bones that are found mostly in the head; usually thinner that other bones

  3. 7. bones that come in a variety of shapes and sizes but their length and width are nearly the same
  4. 8. mammals that have four legs
  5. 10. a bone cell, particularly one encased in hard bone
  6. 11. bones that have more length than width and are generally cylindrical in shape
  7. 12. type of muscle that has dark bands that cross each muscle fiber; muscle that composes the “meat” from farm animals
  8. 13. connective tissue that is flexible and elastic; it also forms the early skeletal structure of the vertebrate embryo

  10. 17. type of joint that allows free movement
  11. 20. contractile tissues that allow the animal to move
  12. 21. bone material that is composed of Haversian systems that usually found on the outside of bones and surrounding the bone marrow
Down
  1. 1. type of joint that generally do not permit any type of movement and are typically found in the skull
  2. 3. type of joint that consist of discs that allow very limited movement and are mainly found in the vertebrate
  3. 4. gelatin-like protein that is part of the composition of bones
  4. 6. bone material that is spongy and generally found in the ends of long bones
  5. 9. connective tissue that is composed of calcium compounds and gelatin-like protein called ossein
  6. 14. a microscopic mass of protoplasm that is the structural and functional unit of a plant or animal organism
  7. 16. a skeletal system found outside the body
  8. 18. type of muscle that surrounds the hollow internal organs of the body, such as the blood vessels, stomach, intestines, and bladder
  9. 19. the portion of the skeletal system that is composed mainly of the skull, vertebral column and rib cage
