Skeletal System
Across
- 3. Palm (5long bones)
- 6. Lies anterior to the sphenoid; forms roof of nasal cavity
- 10. Sole
- 12. Toes
- 17. Bone-destroying cells. Break down bone matrix for remodeling and release of calcium
- 20. “Keystone” bones; form upper jaw
- 21. Functions of the skeletal system
- 25. Bone forming cells
- 28. Wrist(8short bones)
- 29. Cheek bones
- 31. Made of small needle-like pieces and open space. Greater surface area than compact bone.
- 32. Ankle
- 33. Functions of the skeletal system
- 34. Shoulder blade
Down
- 1. Functions of the skeletal system
- 2. Function of the skeletal system
- 4. Limbs and girdles
- 5. Shaft of bone; composed of compact bone
- 7. Bridge of the nose
- 8. Thigh bone
- 9. Fhe arm is formed by a single bone
- 11. Butterfly shaped; forms part of the floor of the cranial cavity
- 13. Form the longitudinal axis of the body
- 14. Small boy with dens, allow rotation of the head
- 15. Covers the epiphyses and reduces friction at the joints
- 16. Collarbone
- 18. Fingers
- 19. Only bone of the skull not connected by sutures
- 22. Contains yellow marrow (mostly fat) in adults. Contains red marrow (for blood cell formation) in infants
- 23. Dense and appears homogenous
- 24. No body, articulates with occipital condyles.
- 26. Outside covering of the diaphysis
- 27. Mature bone cells
- 30. Ends of the bone; mostly of spongy bone
