Skeletal System
Across
- 3. joint
- 4. closed reduction
- 6. treats mis-alignments of spine
- 7. fracture
- 8. a fibrous sac that acts as a cushion to ease movement in areas that are friction
- 10. bone density testing
- 11. marrow red bone marrow forms red blood cells, yellow bone marrow stores fat
- 17. fracture bone is splinted
- 18. to bind, tie together
- 19. loosening, setting free
- 22. abnormal increase in outward curvature of the thoracic spine
- 23. total displacement of bone from joint
- 25. broken bone with no open wound

Down
- 1. stiffness;bent,crooked
- 2. incomplete fracture of bone: happens mainly in children
- 4. abnormal softening of the cartilage
- 5. bent,hump
- 8. scan nuclear imaging test that helps diagnose bone disease
- 9. inflammation of a joint
- 12. cartilage
- 13. areas where two or more bones join together
- 14. smooth, rubbery, blue-white connective tissue that acts as a shock absorber
- 15. the visual examination of the internal structure of a joint
- 16. inflammation of the bursa
- 17. rib
- 19. curve,swayback, bent
- 20. abnormal increase in forward curvature
- 21. connect bone to bone
- 24. skull
