- 3. The last bone at the bottom of your spine
- 5. The "shoulder blade"
- 6. each of a series of slender curved bones articulated in pairs to the spine (twelve pairs in humans), protecting the thoracic cavity and its organs.
- 7. a pair of organs that are found on either side of the spine, just below the rib cage in the back

- 9. the primary organs of the respiratory system
- 11. The bones in your fingers and toes
- 17. a strong, fibrous tissue that connects bones to other bones, providing stability and support to joints
- 18. the large bony frame near the base of the spine to which the hindlimbs or legs are attached in humans and many other vertebrates.
Down
- 1. either of the pair of bones joining the breastbone to the shoulder blades.
- 2. each of the series of small bones forming the backbone, having several projections for articulation and muscle attachment, and a hole through which the spinal cord passes.
