Across
- 2. joint where bones glide past each other and there is no rotational or angular movement
- 7. bone does not have a specific shape or defined shape at all; used for specialty functions in the animal
- 8. type of white blood cell that defends against bacteria, viruses, protozoa and fungi
- 10. joint where bone tissue has grown between two bones, thus connecting them
- 12. bone very flat in appearance and not very wide; primarily used for protection
- 13. composed of the extremities of the body which allow for locomotion
- 15. joint which rotates on a single plane
- 16. primary function of protection of vital organs and serves as a foundation for connections of other bones
- 19. very strong connective tissue
- 20. type of white blood cell that are the body’s first line of defense against infection
Down
- 1. cartilage forming cells; undergo rapid mitosis at the growth plate which causes elongation of the bone in the form of cartilage
- 3. attach bone to bone and are bundles of collagen
- 4. type of myeloid cell; help defend against parasites, infection and allergies; increase blood flow and can break up blood clots
- 5. red blood cells that contain hemoglobin and can readily bond to oxygen or CO2 to carry them throughout the body, either as a supplement for cells or waste product to be expelled
- 6. very short bones
- 9. joints which rotate on three different axes
- 11. attach bones to muscles; are several strands of collagen; designed to be very strong to withstand the force of muscular contractions in the animal
- 14. bone that is longer than it is wide and has the purpose of locomotion
- 15. type of myeloid cell which are responsible for blood clotting
- 17. type of white blood cell that helps defend against parasites and some infections; triggered by allergens and can also serve as an indicator of an allergic reaction
- 18. joint which moves in a single plane
