  4. 13. Bone is bent and splits, causing a crack or incomplete break; common in children
  5. 14. Disk Occurs when an intervertebral disk ruptures or protrudes out of place and causes pressure on the spinal nerve

  7. 18. Bone fragments splinters into more than two pieces
  8. 19. Areas where two or more bones join together Ligaments (connective tissues) help hold long bones together at joints.
  9. 20. Bones help produce red and white blood cells and platelets, a process called hemopoiesis or hematopoiesis

  11. 23. When a bone is forcibly displaced from a joint
  12. 25. Bones store most of the calcium supply of the body in addition to phosphorus and fats
Down
  1. 1. When a twisting action tears the ligaments of a joint
  2. 2. Breaking and dislocation of the distal radius that cause a characteristic bulge at the wrist
  3. 4. A broken piece of skull bone moves inward; common with severe head injuries.
  4. 6. Muscles attach to bones to help provide movement
  5. 7. Breastbone
  6. 8. Protects the spinal cord and provide support for the head and trunk.
  7. 10. Is actually a group of diseases involving inflammation of the joints.

  11. 17. Complete break of the bone with no damage to the skin
  12. 22. skeleton forms the main trunk of the body composed of the skull, spinal column, ribs, and breastbone
  13. 24. Bone breaks and ruptures through the skin; creates an increased chance of infection
