Skeletal System
Across
- 2. break in bone
- 5. part of skeleton relating to head, neck and trunk
- 6. fibrous membranes at the angles of cranial bones
- 10. part of skeleton relating to limbs
- 11. elongated shaft of long bone
- 12. cells that build bone
- 13. one bone shaped like a saddle, glides against another bone
- 14. connective tissue that covers the bone
- 15. dense bone
- 20. process of bone formation and destruction
- 21. systematic disease causing deformity and immobility to joints
- 23. bone joint that only allows movement in one plane
- 24. bone joint that only allows movement in one plane
- 25. cartilage in joints, respiratory tract, fetal skeleton
- 26. bones joined by fibrous tissue
- 27. cells that dissolve bone
- 29. cartilage that provides strength and elasticity to certain parts of body
- 33. band of regular fibrous tissue that connects bones
- 34. disease where defective metabolism causes arthritis
- 35. fibrous sac lined with synovial joint and filled with synovial fluid
Down
- 1. joint where a partially spherical end lies in a socket
- 3. internal layer of skeletal bone
- 4. synovial joint where opposing surfaces glide with each other
- 7. bones joined by cartilage
- 8. most compressible type of cartilage, resistant to stretch
- 9. mature bone cells
- 16. increased softening of bone
- 17. canal in center of each osteon (Haversian)
- 18. joint that permits movement in two planes e.g. extension
- 19. layer of synovial membrane around a tendon
- 22. freely movable joint
- 28. marrow containing red and white blood cells
- 30. inflammation of joints
- 31. disease caused by vitamin D deficiency
- 32. end of long bone
