Across
- 5. An incomplete longitudinal break in bone
- 6. Cervical vertebrae that bears a toothlike dens(odontoid process) on its body
- 10. Joint found that connects the metacarpal to the phalanx
- 14. Blood transports nutrients to bone cells. Bone helps regulate plasma calcium levels, important to heart function.
- 15. Lie between bones that closely contact one another and are held together by a thin layer of dense connective tissue
- 16. Projection situated above a condyle
- 18. Constitutes the anterior portion of the hip bone
- 19. Ribs and muscles work together in breathing
- 21. The pelvis helps support the uterus during pregnancy. Bones provide a source of calcium during lactation
- 22. Enlargement on the end of a bone
- 24. Bones that have long longitudinal axes and expanded ends
- 25. Interlocking line of union between bones
- 30. Complete fracture with fragments of the bone
- 31. Tubelike passageway within a bone
- 32. The kidneys and bones work together to help regulate blood calcium levels
- 33. functional junctions between bones
- 34. Thornlike projection
- 36. Small, nearly flat surface
- 42. Bones that are platelike structures with broad surfaces.
- 44. Small, knoblike process
- 46. Fracture is caused by excessive twisting of a bone
- 49. Cell that will form bone tissue
- 51. Some hormones act on bone to help regulate blood calcium levels
- 52. Cervical vertebrae that supports the head
- 53. Soft spot in the skull where membranes cover the space between bones
- 54. Relatively deep pit of depression
- 55. Bone that forms within sheetlike masses of connective tissue
- 56. Structure between vertebrae
Down
- 1. Joint found that connects the first metacarpal to the trapezium
- 2. The formation of bone
- 3. Bones that have a variety of shapes, and most are connected to several other bones
- 4. Joint found at base of spine and hip bone
- 7. Bones of the skull, vertebral column, ribs, and sternum
- 8. Bones that have roughly equal lengths and widths.
- 9. Knoblike process usually larger than a tubercle
- 11. Absorption of dietary calcium provides material for bone matrix
- 12. Calls of the immune system originate in the bone marrow.
- 13. Cavity within a bone
- 17. Connection between bones of hyaline cartilage, or fibrocartilage
- 20. Vitamin D, production of which begins in the skin, plays a role in calcium absorption and availability for bone matrix
- 23. Rounded process that usually articulates with another bone
- 26. Joint found that connects the humerus to radius and ulna
- 27. Muscles pull on bones to cause movement
- 28. Incomplete fracture, and the break occurs on the convex surface of the bend in the bone
- 29. Complete fracture, with right angle break to axis of bone
- 30. Narrow, ridgelike projection
- 35. Joint found that connects the carpals to metacarpals
- 37. Relatively large process
- 38. Cell that breaks down bone tissue
- 39. Prominent projection on a bone
- 40. Tiny pit or depression
- 41. furrow or groove
- 43. The process of blood cell formation
- 45. Joint found connecting the hip bone and femur
- 47. Proprioceptors sense the position of body parts. Pain receptors warn of trauma to bone. Bones protect the brain and spinal cord.
- 48. Fracture occurs at an angle other than a right angle to the axis of the bone
- 50. Most joints in the skeletal system which allow for free movement(diarthrotic)
