Across
- 1. Bone which is strong and protects and attaches muscle e.g. cranium
- 9. Found in the thigh, this is the longest bone.
- 10. Bone which has an unusual shape e.g. mandible
- 13. The most common joint, and is separated by ligaments and syvonial fluid e.g. the knee.
- 14. Bones contain large amounts of this
- 16. The connective tissue which contains collagen and elastin.
- 17. They rock back and forth and side to side e.g. thumbs.
- 18. Bone which is the same length as width, and has lots of bone marrow e.g. carpals
- 19. This occurs when a bone pops out of the joint
- 20. A rounded head fits into a cup e.g. hip
- 23. Supports the limbs and gives them attachment
- 24. Something part of the skeletal system that is not counted as a bone
- 26. Movement around an axis e.g. neck
- 27. Clavicle, Scapula, Humerus are all found where?
- 29. There are 206 of these in the adult skeleton
Down
- 2. Bone which is longer and thinner, hard on the outside with a spongy center.
- 3. They link bone to muscle and allow movement.
- 4. Acromion Scapular is an injury which happens when overworked.
- 5. The knee bone.
- 6. The number of pairs of ribs an adult skeleton has.
- 7. A protein that gives the skeletal system elasticity.
- 8. They link bones together and prevent dislocation
- 9. This happens when a bone cracks and bleeds.
- 11. Two flat bones are held together by ligaments and glide against each other e.g. ankles
- 12. A joint which separates bone by a thin layer of tissue e.g. skull
- 15. Supports the main axis of the body e.g. neck
- 16. Is moveable and connected by cartilage e.g. ribs or sternum
- 21. The percentage of body weight the skeletal system makes up
- 22. Bone Marrow which produces red blood cells and is found in spongy bone.
- 25. Bone Marrow which is found in the centre of the marrow cavity and makes up white blood cells.
- 28. Convex surface and concave fit and move in one direction e.g. elbow
- 30. The 3 bones, malleus, incus, stapes are the smallest in the body. Where are they found?
