Skeletal System

2. the bony framework of the thoracic cavity.
6. the largest bone of the upper extremity and defines the human brachium (arm)
7. forms the knee joint proximally with the femur and forms the ankle joint distally with the fibula and talus.
8. an elongated, S-shaped bone that sits between the shoulder and sternum at the top of the ribcage
12. a fibrous connective tissue that attaches bone to bone
13. longest, strongest bone in your body
15. the soft, fatty tissue inside of the bones in your body.
16. the bone at the front of your knee joint.
18. the 33 individual bones that interlock with each other to form the spinal column
21. a partially T-shaped vertical bone that forms the anterior portion of the chest wall centrally
22. the middle part of the human body between the lumbar region of the abdomen superiorly and thighs inferiorly.
26. the bone at the front of your knee joint

1. a long bone in the lower extremity that is positioned on the lateral side of the tibia.
3. composed of 22 bones anis d divided into two regions: the neurocranium (which protects the brain) and the viscerocranium (which forms the face).
4. the bones of the forefoot that connect the distal aspects of the cuneiform (medial, intermediate and lateral) bones and cuboid bone to the base of the five phalanges of the foot
5. the areas where two or more bones meet
9. strong, flexible connective tissue that protects your joints and bones.
10. one of two bones that make up the forearm, the other being the radius
11. group of skeletal muscles that connect the upper extremities to the anterior and lateral thoracic walls
14. a large, flat, irregular bone constricted in the middle and enlarged below and above.
17. a cord of strong, flexible tissue, similar to a rope and connects your muscles to your bones
19. a group of cells that have similar structure and that function together as a unit
20. made of connective tissue reinforced with calcium and specialised bone cells.
23. the internal framework of the human body
24. the bone that connects the clavicle to the humerus
25. one of the two bones that make up the forearm, the other being the ulna
