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