Skeletal System
Across
- 4. This is the largest sesamoid bone.
- 8. This is a syndrome that leads to increased pressure within a muscle compartment.
- 10. This type of fracture leads to bone shattering into many pieces.
- 11. This is a silent disease that results in low bone mass.
- 13. This skeleton allows movement.
- 14. This bone tissue lessens impact and contains bone marrow.
- 15. This tissue type reduces friction at joints.
- 16. This is a connective tissue that covers the outside of bones except at the surfaces of the joints.
- 18. This type of fracture is the result of fatigued muscles transferring impact to bones.
Down
- 1. This type of fracture leads to bone breaking into separate pieces.
- 2. This is where bone marrow resides.
- 3. This bone tissue resists bending.
- 5. This type of fracture does not have separation of bone.
- 6. Body's core muscles originate from this skeleton and provide proper posture and alignment.
- 7. This law states that human and animal bone will adapt to loads under which it is placed.
- 9. This is the shaft of the long bone.
- 12. This is a condition that results in pain of the lower leg because of overuse.
- 17. This is the very end of the long bone.
