Skeletal System
Across
- 3. Broken bone ends jam into each other
- 5. Bone twists, resulting in one or more breaks; common in skiing and skating accidents
- 9. Bones form a framework to supply the body’s muscles, fat, and skin.
- 13. Bone is bent and splits, causing a crack or incomplete break; common in children
- 14. Disk Occurs when an intervertebral disk ruptures or protrudes out of place and causes pressure on the spinal nerve
- 16. An inflammation of the bursae, which are small, fluid-filled sacs surrounding the joints
- 18. Bone fragments splinters into more than two pieces
- 19. Areas where two or more bones join together Ligaments (connective tissues) help hold long bones together at joints.
- 20. Bones help produce red and white blood cells and platelets, a process called hemopoiesis or hematopoiesis
- 21. skeleton forms extremities and is composed of the shoulder girdle, arm bones, pelvic girdle, and leg bones
- 23. When a bone is forcibly displaced from a joint
- 25. Bones store most of the calcium supply of the body in addition to phosphorus and fats
Down
- 1. When a twisting action tears the ligaments of a joint
- 2. Breaking and dislocation of the distal radius that cause a characteristic bulge at the wrist
- 4. A broken piece of skull bone moves inward; common with severe head injuries.
- 6. Muscles attach to bones to help provide movement
- 7. Breastbone
- 8. Protects the spinal cord and provide support for the head and trunk.
- 10. Is actually a group of diseases involving inflammation of the joints.
- 11. Increase porosity or softening of the bones
- 12. Bones surround vital organs to protect them
- 15. Bone inflammation usually caused by a pathogenic organism
- 17. Complete break of the bone with no damage to the skin
- 22. skeleton forms the main trunk of the body composed of the skull, spinal column, ribs, and breastbone
- 24. Bone breaks and ruptures through the skin; creates an increased chance of infection
