Across
  1. 1. Bottom section of the vertebral column often called the tailbone
  2. 2. Bones that make up sections of the vertebral column
  3. 5. Movement of a body part away from the centre line of the body
  4. 8. Place where two or more bones meet to allow movement
  5. 9. Movement that bends a joint so the angle between bones becomes smaller
  6. 11. Movement where the sole of the foot turns outward
  7. 13. Function of the skeletal system that provides support and helps maintain posture
  8. 14. Section of the vertebral column consisting of five bones in the lower back
  9. 21. Bones that have no regular shape characteristics
  10. 24. Function of the skeletal system that shields vital organs such as the brain and heart
  11. 25. Connective tissue that connects bones to bones and provides joint stability
  12. 26. Section of the vertebral column consisting of twelve bones
  13. 28. Bones that provide flat areas for muscle attachment and protect organs
  14. 29. Blood cells that form part of the immune system
  15. 31. Movement where the toes lift up towards the shin
Down
  1. 1. Circular movement of a body part like drawing a cone shape in the air
  2. 3. Blood cells used for clotting
  3. 4. Twisting movement around a joint
  4. 6. System of bones that provides structure and support for the body
  5. 7. Movement where the toes point down away from the leg
  6. 10. Blood cells that carry oxygen around the body
  7. 12. Movement that straightens a joint so the angle between bones becomes larger
  8. 15. Function of the skeletal system where bones act as levers with muscles to create motion
  9. 16. Movement of a body part toward the centre line of the body
  10. 17. Bones that are roughly cube shaped with similar width and length
  11. 18. Bones that are longer than they are wide and contain a hollow shaft with marrow
  12. 19. Flexible rubbery substance that cushions bones where they rub together
  13. 20. Top section of the vertebral column consisting of seven bones
  14. 22. Tissue inside bones where blood cells are made
  15. 23. Small bones that develop in tendons around joints
  16. 27. Movement where the sole of the foot turns inward
  17. 30. Tough cord like tissue that connects muscles to bones
