Skeletal Imbalances
Across
- 4. A strong permanent ¨patch¨ at the fracture site.
- 6. Uric acid builds up in blood and disposited as crystals in joint tissues.
- 7. Bloodvessels are ruptured when a bone breaks, causing a blood filled swelling.
- 9. Fibrocartilage is replaced by one made of spongy bone.
- 11. Chronic inflammatory disorder of the cartilage in the joints
- 14. Inwards curvature of the lumbar vertabrae.
- 16. When a bone is pushed out its normal position in the joint cavity.
- 17. Disease of children in which the bone fails to calcify
- 19. Bone breaks into many fragments.
- 20. A bone-thinning disease.
Down
- 1. Connective tissue cells of various types form a mass of repair tissue.
- 2. Exposed bone in the joint hardens and extra bone tissue grows, restricts joint movement.
- 3. Bone breaks incompletely.
- 5. Chronic degenerative condition of the cartilage.
- 8. Excessive outwards curvature of the thoracic vertabrae.
- 10. Result of exceptional trauma that twists or smashes the bone.
- 12. Tendons and ligaments reinforcing a joint are damaged by excessive stretching or are pulled away from the bone.
- 13. Drying of vertebral discs and weakening of their ligaments. May also result from exceptional twisting force.
- 15. lateral curvature of the spine.
- 18. Abnormal tissue that clings to and erodes articular cartilage.
