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