Across
  1. 3. a feature of synovial joints. Lines the inside of the capsule / produces & secretes synovial fluid
  2. 4. bones that have a key role of protection. eg. the bones of the skull
  3. 8. a feature of synovial joints. Lines the bones / protects / reduces friction
  4. 10. the finger and toe bones
  5. 14. The angle between the bones decreases. Eg: bicep curl
  6. 15. Allows a wide range of movement (sideways,backwards/forwards, rotation), e.g. hip
  7. 19. a long bone often called the shin bone
  8. 20. Towards the outer side of the body
  9. 22. found in the shaft or diaphysis of the long bone. This comparatively solid bone surrounds the cavity of the long bone, offering an extremely strong
  10. 24. are roughly cubical, with the same width and length; for example, the carpals of the wrist
  11. 25. joints that offer no movement. Ex. the skull
  12. 29. To bring back to the midline of the body Eg: arm lowered
  13. 30. Sole of the foot is turned to face inwards.
  14. 31. Towards the front of the body
  15. 32. the neck bones
  16. 36. one of the three bones that make up the shoulder girdle, commonly called the collar bone
  17. 37. a smooth, slightly elastic tissue found in various forms within the body such as hyaline, vertebral discs, ribs joints, nose and ears
  18. 38. Forearm is rotated to face palm DOWN.
  19. 40. The skeleton provides ________ to internal organs such as the heart, lungs and the brain.
  20. 41. sometimes called the tail bones
  21. 42. face up
  22. 43. face down
  23. 46. a long bone and one of the three bones that make up the shoulder girdle, commonly called the upper arm bone
  24. 48. the section of the spine that connect to the ribs
  25. 49. are inelastic and very strong, allowing movement by helping muscles pull through the joint and on the bones
  26. 51. Where one bone rotates about another (rotation), e.g. atlas/axis in neck
  27. 52. a feature of synovial joints. Lubricates the inside of the joint
  28. 53. slightly moveable, joints are joined by cartilage and allow small movements. Ex. vertebrae
  29. 54. joints that offer a full range of movement and move freely in at least one direction. Ex knee
Down
  1. 1. Raise toes up higher than the heels.
  2. 2. Point toes down or raise up onto tippy toes
  3. 5. Allows movement in two directions (sideways, backwards/forwards), e.g. thumb
  4. 6. _______is provided for soft tissues (muscle and connective tissue). The skeleton provides the framework for body shape.
  5. 7. Towards the back of the body
  6. 9. also known as growth plates, are the centres for bone growth
  7. 11. Allows movement in only one direction (backwards/forwards), e.g. elbow
  8. 12. a feature of synovial joints. Surrounds the joint / adds stability / stops substances entering or leaving joint
  9. 13. Allows only gliding or sliding movements (sideways, backwards/forwards), e.g. carpals of the wrist
  10. 16. provides some of the shock absorption required at the end of long bones or at the edges of more irregular bones
  11. 17. Towards the midline of the body
  12. 18. Movement around an axis Eg: turning head
  13. 21. To take away from the midline of body eg: lateral raises
  14. 23. Towards the head or upper part of the body
  15. 26. also called the spine, provides the central structure for the maintenance of good posture
  16. 27. of Bones store calcium, phosphorous and small amounts of magnesium, sodium and chlorine.
  17. 28. cross over joints, joining bone to bone. Their slight elasticity allows small movement from the bones of the joint.
  18. 33. small bones developed in tendons around some joints; for example, the patella
  19. 34. one of the three bones that make up the shoulder girdle, commonly called the shoulder blade
  20. 35. Forearm is rotated to face palm UP
  21. 39. Towards the feet or lower part of the body
  22. 44. a long bone, the thumb side forearm bone
  23. 45. the wrist bones
  24. 47. Sole of the foot is turned to face outwards.
  25. 50. The angle between the bones increases. eg. tricep raise
