Skeletal System
Across
- 4. shinbone, long bone of the lower leg
- 7. cut food with their sharp thin edges
- 8. support the weight of the body and allow motion of the lower extremity
- 9. functional part of the bone, bone matrix, and is entirely outside of the cells
- 12. connected to make up part of the roof and sides of the human skull
- 14. connective tissue that attaches bone to bone
- 15. its what osteoblasts become when trapped in matrix that they secrete
- 19. bone marrow produces red and white blood cells and platelets
- 20. assist in mobility and support of the hand
- 21. connected to the carpal bones of the wrist
- 22. it extends from the lateral side of the elbow to the thumb side of the wrist and runs parallel to the ulna
- 24. connected to the toe
- 27. holds upper teeth in place
- 28. bone marrow found in the hollow interior of the middle portion of long bones
Down
- 1. performs movements of the arm, hand, and wrist
- 2. protects spinal cord
- 3. shock absorber between two vertebrae in the spinal column
- 5. forms the anterior part of the pelvic ring
- 6. the calf bone in the lower part of the leg
- 8. front of the skull and corresponds to the region know as the forehead
- 9. large multinucleated cells responsible for bone degradation
- 10. skeleton upper limbs and lower limbs
- 11. strong weight-bearing platform
- 13. Bones hard dense bone that provides strength, structure, and mobility
- 16. front bone located in the middle of the thorax between two sets of ribs
- 17. found at the lower-back area of the cranium
- 18. topmost vertebrae of the spinal column
- 23. connective tissue to provide support, but is less rigid than bone
- 24. lower jaw bone
- 25. attachment site for tendons, ligaments and muscles
- 26. skeleton provides support and protection for the brain, spinal cord, and organs in the ventral body cavity
