Across
- 3. Abnormal curvature of the spine.
- 4. A smooth layer of tough cartilage cushions and protects the ends of bones where they meet.
- 5. A place in your body where two or more of your bones come together
- 7. By young adulthood, most of this cartilage is replaced by bone in this process
- 9. The soft tissue that fills spaces inside bone
- 10. A break in the bone
Down
- 1. The ends of bones in a joint are forced out of their normal positions.
- 2. Significant mineral loss can lead to this
- 6. Overstretched or torn ligament
- 8. Tough supportive tissue that is softer and more flexible than bone
