- 6. the padding and protection of the skeletal system
- 8. vary in shape and structure and therefore do not fit into any other category

Down
- 1. Attachment of muscles – the bones of the skeleton provide surfaces for the attachment of muscles

- 7. connective tissue that's like duck tape for bones
- 9. membrane around the bone
- 10. middle of the long bone
- 11. any protuberance on a bone, esp for the attachment of a muscle or ligament.
- 13. any of two bony protuberances by which muscles are attached to the upper part of the thigh bone.
