Skeletal System
Across
- 2. process of development; cartilage is replaced
- 3. between diaphysis and epiphyses
- 5. longer than it is wide
- 8. abnormally high levels of calcium
- 9. thin and curved
- 10. thin membranes that limes the medullary cavity
- 11. thin connective tissue sheath
- 13. bone segments are pulled as a result of twisting
- 15. cube-like shape; equal in length, width, and thickness
- 17. osteoblasts that have calcified
- 20. complex shaped bone
Down
- 1. a fracture that does not break the skin
- 4. abnormally low levels of calcium
- 6. a partial fracture
- 7. shaft of long bones
- 12. distal and proximal ends of a long bone
- 14. synthesizes and secretes collagen and calcium salts
- 16. opening; allows blood vessels and nerves to pass
- 18. a fracture where the break is straight across
- 19. small and round; embedded in tendons
