Across
  1. 3. space within the bone filled with marrow
  2. 4. thin inner layer of bone covering; lines medullary cavity
  3. 5. thin outer layer of bone covering
  4. 6. joining point of epiphysis and diaphysis
  5. 11. skeleton – consists of fore and hind limbs
  6. 12. small, seed-shaped bone embedded in a tendon, i.e. proximal and distal sesamoids
  7. 14. bone longer than it is wide, i.e. humerus, radius, and femur
  8. 17. enlarged ends of long bones
  9. 19. break along the long axis of a bone
  10. 20. break completely across the bone
  11. 21. fracture – bone breaks through the skin
  12. 22. complex and irregularly shaped bone, i.e. vertebrae
Down
  1. 1. fracture – bone shatters into many pieces
  2. 2. body of a long bone
  3. 7. cube shaped bone, i.e. bones of the carpus and tarsus
  4. 8. bone does not break through the skin
  5. 9. skeleton – consists of the skull and vertebrae
  6. 10. break on one side of a bone, usually due to a bending force
  7. 13. freely moveable joint
  8. 15. process by which tissue and cartilage becomes bone
  9. 16. plate of bone, i.e. scapula
  10. 18. framework of structures that support and protect the body
