- 4. thin and curved bone
- 5. ribs 8-12
- 6. small bone located at inferior end of adult vertebral column
- 8. ribs 11-12
- 10. paired bones that form upper jaw
- 12. bone that is small, round
- 15. connective tissue in interior cavity of bone
- 16. opening through skull for passage of air
- 18. thin,curved bones of chest wall
- 19. ossifcation process in which bone forms by replacing cartilage
Down
- 1. primary cell in mature bone
- 3. flattened bone located at the center of chest
- 5. unpaired bone that forms forehead
- 6. the skull
- 7. filled with yellow marrow
- 9. ribs 1-7
- 11. connective tissue in interior cavity where fat is stored
- 13. bone of complex shape, protects internal organs from compressive forces
- 14. connective tissue found on the skeleton in areas where flexibility and smooth surfaces support movement
- 17. type of bone with dense osseous tissue that withstand compressive force
