- 19. A curving inward of the lower back
- 20. also known as spongy or trabecular bone, is one of the two types of bone tissue found in the human body
- 21. synovial joint where one of the bones forming the joint is shaped like a saddle with the other bone resting on it like a rider on a horse
- 22. is a surgical procedure to restore a fracture or dislocation to the correct alignment

- 24. common class of synovial joint that includes the ankle, elbow, and knee joints
- 26. the skull, especially the part enclosing the brain
- 30. either type of cartilaginous joint
- 31. a break or splinter of the bone into more than two fragments
- 33. A condition which refers to a problem with a rubbery disk between the spinal bones
- 34. is a bone fracture in which the parts of the broken bone are driven toward or into each other by force
- 36. attachments or articulations include fossa, ramus, and condyle
- 39. is a synovial joint which, under physiological conditions, allows only gliding movement
- 42. bones whose principal function is either extensive protection or the provision of broad surfaces for muscular attachment
- 43. an immovably fixed joint between bones connected by fibrous tissue
- 45. is the central cavity of bone shafts
- 49. a dense layer of vascular connective tissue enveloping the bones except at the surfaces of the joints.
- 50. are a series of microscopic tubes in the outermost region of bone called cortical bone that allow blood vessels and nerves to travel through
- 52. an imaginary line about which a body rotates
- 53. having or relating to a single axis
- 55. develop after birth
- 57. a bone cell, formed when an osteoblast becomes embedded in the matrix it has secreted
- 58. a natural or manufactured joint or coupling, such as the hip joint, in which a partially spherical end lies in a socket, allowing multidirectional movement and rotation.
- 60. having or relating to two axes.
- 62. a cavity or depression, especially in bone
- 64. the end part of a long bone
- 65. line/plate is a hyaline cartilage plate in the metaphysis at each end of a long bone
- 66. connected entirely by cartilage
- 67. no joint cavity and are connected via fibrous connective tissue
- 68. process of creating new blood cells in the body
- 69. longer than they are wide
Down
- 1. a large multinucleate bone cell that absorbs bone tissue during growth and healing
- 2. Red blood cells, platelets and most white blood cells arise
- 3. joins bones with a fibrous joint capsule
- 5. in bone remodeling is the process of laying down new bone material by cells called osteoblasts
- 6. A sideways curvature of the spine.
- 7. a lifelong process where mature bone tissue is removed from the skeleton
- 8. also known as diarthrosis, joins bones with a fibrous joint
- 9. a fluid-filled sac or saclike cavity, especially one countering friction at a joint
- 10. a break in a cranial bone resembling a thin line, without splintering, depression, or distortion of bone
- 13. the state of being jointed.
- 18. a solid swelling of clotted blood within the tissues
- 25. Occurs when one or more bones in the spine weaken and crumple
- 27. a roundish, flattened part in an animal or plant, in particular
- 28. any of the small channels in the bone that transmit blood vessels from the periosteum into the bone and that communicate with the haversian canals
- 29. An injury where a joint is forced out of normal position
- 32. a cell that secretes the matrix for bone formation
- 35. protection of nervous tissue
- 37. the most superior (first) cervical vertebra of the spine
- 38. is an ovoid articular surface, or condyle that is received into an elliptical cavity
- 40. a thin layer, membrane, scale, or platelike tissue or part, especially in bone tissue
- 41. the shaft or central part of a long bone
- 44. smooth, white tissue that covers the ends of bones where they come together to form joints
- 46. form during fetal development
- 47. the portion of the skeleton of vertebrates consisting of the bones or cartilage that support the appendages
- 48. bone fracture occurring when torque (a rotating force) is applied along the axis of a bone
- 51. a fracture of the bone, occurring typically in children, in which one side of the bone is broken and the other only bent.
- 54. such as maxilla or mandible.
- 56. A type of arthritis that occurs when flexible tissue at the ends of bones wears down.
- 59. A forward rounding of the back
- 61. cortical bone
- 63. plane joint
