Across
  1. 3. provides firm but elastic support . contains loosely packed collagen fibers and a generous amount of elastic fibers
  2. 5. connective tissue(connects bones together), collagen(support substance), elastin(gives flexibility)
  3. 7. The crest is a raised or prominent part of the edge of the bone.
  4. 8. this is cartilage that attaches your ribs to the sternum
  5. 12. like rings of cartilage in the trachea and bronchi , its a hyaline cartilage
  6. 13. A sesamoid bone is a small bone commonly found embedded within a muscle or tendon near joint surfaces
  7. 17. Short bones are shaped roughly as a cube and contain mostly spongy bone.
  8. 18. Tuberosity is a rounded prominence
  9. 20. a compressible but resilient type of cartilage . can act as a shock absorber at joints.
  10. 21. a flexible but inelastic cord of strong fibrous collagen tissue attaching a muscle to a bone. (a muscle pulls on it, like a rope)
  11. 22. a bone marking that is a small rounded projection on a bone
Down
  1. 1. A cartilage present in the joints, the respiratory tract, and the immature skeleton
  2. 2. An irregular bone is one that does not have any easily characterized shape and therefore does not fit any other classification.
  3. 4. contains all our limbs and the pelvis, humerus, femur, etc…
  4. 6. Flat bones are made up of a layer of spongy bone between two thin layers of compact bone.
  5. 9. Spinous process is a small , wing-like projection of bone that points outward from each vertebra along the spine.
  6. 10. cartilage is a connective tissue of the skeletal system . it’s purpose is the cushion joints, allow for free movement of a joint, provides structural support
  7. 11. (adipose tissue) is a connective tissue in the skeletal system. its to pad and protect.a natural oily or greasy substance occurring in animal bodies, especially when deposited as a layer under the skin or around certain organs.
  8. 14. An epicondyle is a bump or protuberance on a long bone where tendons and ligaments connect
  9. 15. the cartilage that provides structural support to the nose it is considered a hyaline cartilage.
  10. 16. The axial skeleton is the part of the skeleton that consists of the bones of the head and trunk of a vertebrate.
  11. 19. Condyle is a large prominence, which often provides structural support to the overlying hyaline cartilage.
