Skeletal system
Across
- 3. a joint moves a bone toward the midline of the body
- 5. this skeleton is the principal supportive structure of the body
- 6. this joint is a reduced ball-and-socket configuration in which significant rotation is largely excluded
- 7. a joint is to bend it or decrease the angle between the bones of the joint
- 8. a fibrous, cellular, vascular, and highly sensitive life support sheath for bone
- 11. a joint moves a bone away from the midline of the body
- 14. this bone marrow is a fatty connective tissue that does not produce blood cells
- 16. these bones have two or more different shapes
- 18. internal rotation of the radiohumeral joint in which the hand and wrist are turned palm down
- 19. these bones are predominantly cancellous bones with a thin cortex of compact bone and have no cavity
- 21. these joints are freely movable within ligamentous limits and bony architecture
- 23. end of a long bone
Down
- 1. generally means straightening a joint
- 2. external rotations of the radiohumeral joint in which the hand and wrist are turned palm up
- 4. this joint has two concave articulating surfaces, permitting all motions but rotation
- 7. these bones are more flat than round
- 8. this joint has a ring of bone around a peg
- 9. is the cavity of the diaphysis
- 10. these bones are clearly longer in one axis than in another
- 12. the principal artery and major supplier of the oxygen and nutrients to the shaft or body of a bone
- 13. this joint permits movement in only one plane: flexion/extension
- 15. the healthy cartilage between the epiphyseal and diaphyseal centers of ossification becomes what plate
- 17. shaft of a long bone
- 20. this type of bone forms the stout walls of the diaphysis
- 22. these bones are mostly bone, often mixed with fibrous tissue and cartilage
