Skeletal System
Across
- 4. The _________ skeleton is made up of arms, wrists, hands, fingers, legs, ankles, feet, and toes
- 6. A joint located in the Neck/Cervix area
- 7. Main arm bone in the proximal arm
- 8. Bones proximal on the feet
- 10. Moving/flexing the foot upward/closer to leg
- 12. Provides Vitamin D needed for proper calcium absorption and use
- 16. A thin layer, plate, or membrane, esp any of the calcified layers of which bone is formed
- 18. Manage the bone remodeling process
- 19. Common fracture in children
- 22. Bone at the very bottom of the spine
- 24. Part of long bones that make up the majority of the structure
- 25. The movement of toes and foot move towards the sole and away from the leg, therefore increasing the angle
- 26. Foot doctor
- 27. One of the bones connected to the humerus
- 28. A joint that allows for movement in 2 planes/axes
- 30. A movement that decreases the angle between two body parts
- 31. Produce new bone tissue and signify its final length and shape
- 34. Allows for flexion and extension
- 35. Not part of the axial skeleton
- 36. A dense layer of vascular connective tissue enveloping the bones except at the surfaces of the joints
Down
- 1. Arthritis doctor
- 2. Bone in the distal part of the leg connected to the femur
- 3. Bone lateral on the thumb side connected to the humerus
- 5. Provides for pain and joint sense
- 7. It l lies in the center of rings which are called lamella and they contain blood vessels and nerve fibers that allow the bone to stay healthy and in good condition
- 9. When you move a limb/body part towards the center of the body
- 11. Provides nutrients for needed for bone health and growth
- 13. Form new bone after osteoclasts break down old bone
- 14. Bones between the carpal bones and the proximal phalanges of the hand
- 15. Responsible for breaking down old bone and allows new bone to form.
- 17. A movement that increases the angle between two body parts
- 19. Joint between the carpals of the wrist and between the tarsals of the ankle
- 20. Bone marrow cavities provide site for cell formation; matrix stores calcium needed for this system's activity
- 21. The motion of a limb or appendage away from the midline of the body
- 23. A four step process to view bones/joints
- 29. Bone connected to the tibia in the distal-lateral leg
- 32. Allows for the storage of red bone marrow
- 33. Shoulder blade bones
