Skeletal System
Across
- 1. Decrease in bone density
- 3. Fracture where the break is straight across the bone
- 4. Opening or groove that allow blood vessels and nerves to pass through
- 5. Several small breaks that result in many small pieces between two larger segments
- 7. Osteocytes are within chambers called __________
- 11. Maintain mineral concentration
- 12. Can stabilize and strengthen bone
- 13. Structure that connects osteocytes
- 15. Abnormally low level of calcium
- 17. Canal that is found in the center of the rings
- 19. Process of growth development
- 20. A partial fracture - only one side of the bone is broken
Down
- 2. Process when bone is resorbed on one surface and deposited on another
- 4. Abnormally high level of calcium
- 6. Cannot be absorbed without vitamin D
- 8. Complex Shape
- 9. Synthesize and secrete collagen and calcium salts
- 10. Bone breakdown/resorption
- 14. Osteocytes form rings called __________
- 16. Cylinder-like shape
- 18. Where two bones meet a.k.a. joint
