Skeletal System
Across
- 2. A stiff joint caused by adhesion, or abnormal fusion of two bones into one.
- 4. Joint disease that mostly affects cartilage between the bone and joint;
- 8. Condition of small holes in the bones; noticeable loss of bone density
- 12. Tumor or bony projection that covers cartilage.
- 14. Trauma to the ligaments surrounding a joint, causing pain and, in some cases, disability.
- 18. Malignant tumor that arises from connective tissue and affects the bone.
- 20. Visual examination of a joint using a scope
- 23. Abnormal, forward curvature of the lumbar spine; swayback
- 25. Joint swelling at the base of the great toe, caused by infl ammation of the bursa.
- 26. Partial dislocation of a bone from its joint.
- 28. Abnormal, lateral curvature of the spine
- 29. softening of the cartilage
- 33. Abnormal softening of the bone. In children, this condition is known as rickets.
- 34. A break in a bone.
Down
- 1. Total displacement of a bone from its joint.
- 3. Inflammation of joints; usually accompanied by pain and, frequently, structural changes in bone and cartilage.
- 5. Bone defi ciency; in a young person, less-than-average bone density.
- 6. Inflammation of the bone and bone marrow
- 7. Abnormal, outward curvature of the thoracic spine; humpback; called Dowager’s hump in older women
- 9. inflammation of the bone
- 10. Pain in joint or joints
- 11. Inflammation of the bursa, usually between bony protrusions and muscle or tendon.
- 13. A form of rheumatoid arthritis characterized by infl ammation of vertebral joints, which can become fused and stiff;
- 15. A bone that has splintered or has been crushed
- 16. Bone tissue death that occurs when the bone has become sequestered, or separated, from the healthy tissue around it, due to lack of blood supply.
- 17. Form of arthritis in which uric acid builds up in the blood and causes joint swelling and pain; \
- 19. Infl ammation of the periosteum, the covering that surrounds the bone.
- 21. Congenital deformity of the foot involving the talus
- 22. Inflammation of a tendon.
- 24. pain in the bone
- 27. Cancer of the plasma cells (a type of white blood cell) that originates in the bone marrow.
- 30. Tumor of the bone.
- 31. Stiffening of the spine
- 32. Pain in the lower back (lumbar) region.
