Skeletal System
Across
- 3. space within the bone filled with marrow
- 4. thin inner layer of bone covering; lines medullary cavity
- 5. thin outer layer of bone covering
- 6. joining point of epiphysis and diaphysis
- 11. skeleton – consists of fore and hind limbs
- 12. small, seed-shaped bone embedded in a tendon, i.e. proximal and distal sesamoids
- 14. bone longer than it is wide, i.e. humerus, radius, and femur
- 17. enlarged ends of long bones
- 19. break along the long axis of a bone
- 20. break completely across the bone
- 21. fracture – bone breaks through the skin
- 22. complex and irregularly shaped bone, i.e. vertebrae
Down
- 1. fracture – bone shatters into many pieces
- 2. body of a long bone
- 7. cube shaped bone, i.e. bones of the carpus and tarsus
- 8. bone does not break through the skin
- 9. skeleton – consists of the skull and vertebrae
- 10. break on one side of a bone, usually due to a bending force
- 13. freely moveable joint
- 15. process by which tissue and cartilage becomes bone
- 16. plate of bone, i.e. scapula
- 18. framework of structures that support and protect the body
