Skeletal System

1. Bones Include bones of the legs and arms.
4. Skeleton Composed of the remaining 126 bones of the upper and lower limbs, shoulders, and hips.
6. Bones They are somewhat thinner and much flatter than other bones. They are found in the skull, and other areas to protect organs. The scapula, or shoulder blade is another example.
7. Is a fibrous cord that attaches muscle to bone.
10. joints Found at the elbow, knee, ankle, and fingers, allow a joint to bend and straighten, promoting rotation.
11. Bones Some are found in facial bones or vertebrae. They have unusual shapes that prevent them from fitting into any other category.
14. Is the process by which bone is formed, renewed, and repaired.
15. A strong, flexible connective tissue, is another component of your skeletal system. It can be found at the ends of long bones, at the end of the nose and the outer ear. Cartilage also acts as a cushion, such as in the knee and between the vertebrae.

2. Joints Allow bones to slide over one another.
3. joints Are formed when the rounded head of one bone fits into the rounded cavity of an adjoining bone, as in a hip or shoulder joint. These joints allow the widest range of motion in all directions.
5. joints Allow limited rotation or turning of the head.
8. joint Such as the one in your wrist, have an oval shaped part that fits into a curved space.
9. Bones Are almost equal in length and width. They include bones in the wrist and ankles.
12. Skeleton Consists of the 80 bones of the skull, spine, ribs, vertebrae, and sternum/breastbone.
13. Is a band of fibrous, slightly elastic connective tissue that attaches bone to bone.
