Across
- 3. the lower back region of your spinal column or backbone
- 7. the middle section of your spine
- 8. fracture in which a bone that is broken in at least two places
- 12. hard, dense bones that provide strength, structure, and mobility has a shaft and two ends(the tibia, fibula, femur, metatarsals, and phalanges)
- 13. bones that, in shape and structure and therefore do not fit into any other category
- 14. a small independent bone or bony nodule developed in a tendon where it passes over an angular structure, typically in the hands and feet, kneecap
- 16. The hardening of cartilage into bone.
- 18. Thick connective tissue that holds bone to bone.
- 21. also called an open fracture, is a fracture in which there is an open wound or break in the skin near the site of the broken one
- 23. Type of marrow that is composed of fat cells and stores energy.
- 24. The dense layer of bone that lies beneath the periosteum.
- 25. Soft, flexible, connective tissue that acts as a cushion between bones and provides a slippery surface to reduce friction.
Down
- 1. supports the structures of the face and provides a protective cavity for the brain
- 2. The outermost layer of bone.
- 4. Type of bone marrow that produces red and white blood cells.
- 5. Thick connective tissue that holds bone to muscle.
- 6. the topmost vertebra of the backbone, articulating with the occipital bone of the skull.
- 9. bones that are shaped roughly as a cube and contain mostly spongy bone (located in the hands and feet)
- 10. Places where two bones meet.
- 11. fracture that occurs when a bone bends and cracks, instead of breaking completely into separate pieces
- 15. section of the spine that runs from the base of the neck to the bottom of your rib cage
- 17. series of small bones forming the backbone, having several projections for articulation and muscle attachment, and a hole through which the spinal cord passes.
- 19. Porous, lightweight, and strong tissue that makes up the inside of a bone.
- 20. made up of a layer of spongy bone between two thin layers of compact bone. They have a flat shape (skull, ribs)
- 22. skull bone that forms the prominent part of the cheek and the outer side of the eye socket.
