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