Across
- 6. bone-forming cell
- 7. enlargement; increase in the size of a muscle
- 10. without tone; denervated muscle that atrophies
- 11. ropelike bundles of collagen fibrils connecting bones
- 12. process in which minerals (calcium) is deposited in bone matrix
- 14. decrease in the size of a muscle
- 15. having greater than normal muscle tone
- 16. refers to a reduction in bone mass to below normal levels
- 18. abnormal sensation (ex: tingling, burning, numbness)
- 19. excess fluid, can be in a joint
- 20. membrane in a joint that secretes lubricating fluid
- 21. increase of concave (curved in) curvature of the lumbar spine
- 22. fluid-filled sac found in connective tissue, usually in the joint area
Down
- 1. cord of fibrous tissue connecting muscle to bones
- 2. process that ensures bone maintenance through simultaneous bone resorption and formation
- 3. increase in the convex (curved out) curvature of the thoracic spine
- 4. abnormal shortening of muscle, joint, or both
- 5. grating or crackling sound or sensation, may occur with movement of ends of a broken bone or irregular joint surface
- 8. tough, elastic, avascular tissue at the ends of bone
- 9. removal/destruction of tissue, such as bone
- 13. limp, without muscle tone
- 15. lateral curving of the spine
- 16. bone resorption cell
- 17. fibrous tissue that covers, supports, and separates muscles
