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