Across
- 8. a moveable joint which has synovial fluid in the space between the bones
- 10. joint that allows only very limited movement; held in place by cartilage
- 11. band of fibrous connective tissue that holds bones together
- 13. joint that allows the most movement; bones at these joints are connected by ligament
- 14. dense connective tissue containing the protein collagen that provides a smooth surface for the movement of bones at joints
- 15. fibers in the extracellular matrix of bone and cartilage
Down
- 1. movable joint with the greatest range of motion, allowing movement in several directions; examples include the shoulder
- 2. joint that does not allow movement because the bones at these joints are held securely together by dense collagen; includes the bones of the skull
- 3. the movement from place to place
- 4. human body system that includes bones, cartilage, and ligaments
- 5. the fluid that cushions a moveable joint
- 6. movable joint allowing less movement than a ball-and-socket joint; examples include the knee
- 7. multicellular, heterotrophic eukaryote with specialized cells that lack cell walls; member of the animal kingdom
- 9. hard tissue consisting of the protein collagen and minerals such as calcium that generally makes up most of the vertebrate endoskeleton
- 12. the ability to move; in animals, requires muscles and nerves working together
