Across
- 2. either of a pair of bones which form part of the side of the skull on each side and enclose the middle and inner ear
- 4. a chronic progressive disease causing inflammation in the joints and resulting in painful deformity and immobility, especially in the fingers, wrists, feet, and ankles
- 7. Joint joint where the bones are entirely joined by cartilage, either hyaline cartilage or fibrocartilage
- 9. hole where bridge of nose would be
- 10. Column the central axis of the skeleton in all vertebrates. Provides attachments to muscles, supports the trunk, protects the spinal cord and nerve roots
- 13. Joint where adjacent bones are strongly united by fibrous connective tissue
- 14. the bone that forms the back and base of the skull; where the spinal cord passes
- 15. a medical condition in which the bones become brittle and fragile from loss of tissue, typically as a result of hormonal changes, or deficiency of calcium or vitamin D
- 16. A mature bone cell

- 24. a bone forming the central side and upper back part of each side of the skull
- 26. Bone the bone that forms the prominent part of the cheek and the outer side of the eye socket
- 28. the top-most bone, sitting just below the skull; it is followed by the axis
- 29. A flat plate of hyaline cartilage seen in young, growing bones. It causes the lengthwise growth of a long bone

- 17. the type of joint found between bones that move against each other
- 18. the part of the body where two or more bones meet to allow movement
- 23. A cell that helps with bone formation by secreting a matrix
- 25. a disease of children caused by vitamin D deficiency, characterized by imperfect calcification, softening, and distortion of bones usually causing bow legs
