The Skeletal System
Across
- 1. the bones have a joint cavity, and they are held together by ligaments and separated by synovial fluid in the joint cavity
- 3. Thin parallel surfaces usually protecting vital organs
- 9. increasing the angle between two bones
- 13. bending of the foot towards the shin
- 15. includes the bones of the pectoral girdle and the upper body, and the bones of the pelvic girdle and the lower body
- 16. Vertebrae
Down
- 2. movement of a bone towards the midline
- 4. fibrous cords of dense connective tissue that attaches muscle to bone
- 5. dense connective tissue that attaches bone to bone
- 6. Hinge joint
- 7. decreasing the angle between two bones
- 8. forms the long axis of the body, and includes the skull, vertebra, ribs, sternum and hyoid bone
- 10. Ball and socket joint
- 11. Relatively long and slender
- 12. Allows for flexion and extension at the joint
- 14. the bones have no joint cavity, and they are held together by strong connective tissue
