Skeletal System
Across
- 4. A red, gelatinous substance composed of red and white blood cells
- 5. Joint seen at the hip and shoulder
- 7. End of a long bone
- 12. turning of the sole inwards
- 14. site of fat storage in the adult
- 16. Nonliving, structural part of bone
- 18. Site of longitudinal growth in a child
- 20. Forms the outer walls of the diaphysis and thinner outer surface of other bones
- 22. "Residences" of osteocytes
- 23. Fatty connective tissue that does not produce blood cells
- 24. Joint that has two concave articulating surfaces
- 25. Major supplier of oxygen and nutrients to the shaft or body of a bone
Down
- 1. turning of the sole of foot outwards
- 2. A living tissue with active cells and blood supply
- 3. Shaft of a long bone
- 6. Along the midline longitudinal axis that includes the skull, vertebrae, and ribs
- 8. Joint that permits movement in only one plane (flexion/extension)
- 9. Cavity of the diaphysis that contains marrow
- 10. Mature bone cells that maintain bone in a viable state
- 11. Tiny canals, connecting lacunae
- 13. Articulating surface in freely movable joints
- 15. Young bone cells that secrete organic substances of the matrix
- 17. Remodel, repair, and dissolve bone
- 19. Sensitive life support sheath for bone
- 21. Located in the epiphysis and filled with red marrow and blood vessels
