Across
  1. 5. Fragment is pushed down, typically due to a blow to the skull
  2. 6. More internal
  3. 8. Break in several pieces, splintered/crushed
  4. 9. Break has curved/sloped pattern, often caused by slanted blow
  5. 10. Incomplete, bone is bent & partially broken, most common form in kids
  6. 11. Higher/Towards the Head
  7. 14. Cells that form new bone tissue.
  8. 16. Maintains mineral concentration of matrix, mature osteoblast, important for strength and health of bones
  9. 17. Back
  10. 18. Limb - nearest to attachment point
  11. 20. Binds to a receptor and blocks the activation of the receptor, returning a receptor to baseline
  12. 21. Limb - farther from attachment point
  13. 22. Lower/Away from the Head
  14. 24. 24 ribs, 12 pairs; about 1/20 people have 13 pairs, but 12 is most common
Down
  1. 1. Front
  2. 2. Collapse of vertebra, often due to osteoporosis or tumors
  3. 3. Bone breaks through skin—greater risk of infection
  4. 4. Skeleton that consists of skull and trunk, protects soft organs.
  5. 6. Pick up signal
  6. 7. Place one neuron connects to next
  7. 11. More external, surface of body
  8. 12. Cells that break down and reabsorb bone.
  9. 13. Towards the midline
  10. 15. Farthest from the midline - side of body
  11. 19. Binds to a receptor and activates it to produce a response
  12. 20. Skeleton that consists of arms and legs, provides muscle attachment points.
  13. 23. Bone breaks, but doesn't puncture skin
