Skeletal system
Across
- 3. Abnormal sideways curvature of the spine
- 7. A form of arthritis from uric acid crystal buildup, often in joints
- 9. A serious bone infection, often bacterial
- 12. Dysplasia Bone tissue turns into fibrous(scar-like) tissue, weakening bones
- 13. (Avascular Necrosis) Bone tissue death from lack of blood supply
- 14. Softening of adult bones, similar to ricktes, due to mineral deficiency
- 15. Excessive inward curve of the lower back(swayback)
Down
- 1. Excessive outward curve of the upper back(hunchback)
- 2. Softening of bones in children due to Vitamin D/Calcium deficiency, causing bowing
- 4. Cartilage in joints wears down, causing pain and stiffness
- 5. A break in a bone, from minor stress to serve trauma
- 6. Imperfecta A genetic disorder causing extremely brittle bones
- 8. Bones become weak, brittle, and easily fractured due to loss of bone mass
- 10. Cancer Malignant tumors in bone tissue (e.g., Osteosarcoma, Ewing Sarcoma)
- 11. Disease of Bone Disrupts bone remodeling, leading to enlarged, misshapen, or weak bones
