Across
- 1. Flattened Plates of compact bone. EX: Ribs, pelvis, scapula, sternum, skull.
- 3. A layer outside the bone.
- 5. The first connective tissue in the skeletal system(like duct tape for the skeletal system). Collagen (provides strength in alignment).Elastin (provides flexibility to the ligament).
- 9. A bone with a bunch of holes in it near the end of the bone.
- 10. A small rounded projection on a bone. EX; tibial tubercle
- 11. A rope that connects the muscle to the bone.(decrease in collagen and increase in elastin)
- 12. The dense hard layer outside of the bone.
- 13. The middle of a long bone.
- 15. When a bone is longer than it is wide.
- 16. Oddly shaped, Asymmetrical. Thick, blocky. EX: Calcaneus, Pelvis, Scapula.
- 17. A connective tissue in the skeletal system that is padding and protects(adipose).
- 18. Bones formed within a tendon EX:Patella (kneecap) Free floating bone. Sesamoids(big toe)
- 19. A hollow part of that bone that has bone marrow.
- 20. The end of a long bone.
Down
- 2. The appendicular skeleton contains all of our limbs and the pelvis.
- 4. A connective tissue of the skeletal system. It is the cushion for joints.
- 6. Wider than it is long. EX:Tarsals(Foot) Carpals(Wrist)
- 7. A compressible but resilient type of cartilage. Can act as a shock absorber at joints(Intervertebral Disc)
- 8. Imbetween the Diaphysis and Epiphysis.
- 14. The growth part of the bone.
