Skeletal System

1. Joints that allow a wide range of movements. Examples include your shoulder and hip joints.
3. Joints where bones are connected by cartilage, allowing for slight movement. Example: joints between ribs and the breastbone.
4. The hard, strong parts inside your body that make up your skeleton.
10. Joints that don't move, providing stability. Examples include the joints in your skull.
12. Muscles that attach to your bones and help you move.
15. long, straight part of a bone.
17. The act of moving from one place to another.
18. Joints that work like a door hinge, allowing back-and-forth movement, like your knee and elbow joints.
19. Joints that have limited movement, like those between the vertebrae in your spine.
21. The backbone or spine made up of individual bones called vertebrae.
22. Tough cords that connect muscles to bones, allowing muscles to move your bones.

2. Smooth cartilage covering the ends of bones at joints, reducing friction and allowing smooth movement.
5. A muscle that straightens a joint, making it longer.
6. Dense and hard outer layer of bone, providing strength and protection.
7. Joints that allow circular movements and rotations, like your shoulder and hip joints.
8. A muscle that bends a joint, making it smaller.
9. Softer, flexible tissue that cushions and supports your bones, especially at joints.
11. Less dense bone tissue with a spongy appearance, found at the ends of long bones.
13. The central hollow part of long bones, containing bone marrow.
14. The bones in your limbs (arms and legs) and the structures that connect them to the axial skeleton.
15. Fluid that lubricates and nourishes the joints, helping them move smoothly.
16. The central part of your skeleton, including your skull, spine, and ribcage.
20. Strong bands of tissue that connect bones to each other, stabilizing joints.
