Skeletal system
Across
- 1. bone segments are pulled apart as result of a twisting motion
- 5. plate site of longitudinal growth in a child
- 6. protect the most important internal organs from injury
- 10. bone cells, called , maintain bone osteocytes
- 13. imperfecta a group of inherited disorder characterized by fragile bone that breaks easily
- 14. canal empty spaces that allow blood vessels lymph vessels etc. Linking up with the central canals
- 18. bone building cells, synthesis & secret cullegen fibers
- 19. a fine network of canals supply nutrients to the osteocytes
- 20. site of compact bone in the adult
Down
- 2. one fragments is driven into the other result of compression
- 3. disease disrupts the replacement of old bone tissue with new bone tissue
- 4. bone becomes weak and brittle
- 7. at one end of the broken bone tears through the skin high risk of infection
- 8. canal the bones blood vessels and new fibers
- 9. marrow site of hemopoiesis in the adult
- 11. site of spongy bone in adult
- 12. about being on top of the long bone
- 15. cells that liquefy bone matrix and release calcium to the blood are called osteoclasts
- 16. skin remains intact
- 17. homeostasis stores mineral, especially calcium and phosphorus
