  1. 4. or Linear bone break incomplete break parallel to the bone and often caused by bones pushing against other bones
  2. 5. connective tissues which connect muscles to bones at a joint (When the muscle contracts,the tendon pulls the bone in the direction of the contraction.)
  3. 7. bone structure which has an animal walking on its toes and not placing weight on the heels of the foot (e.g., cat, dog and walking birds)
  4. 9. bone break complete break at multiple points; also known as “shattered”
  5. 10. strong band of connective tissue which connect bone to other bone at joint
  6. 12. teeth in the back of the mouth, specifically used for grinding
  7. 13. an animal which stands on four feet; includes cattle, sheep, dogs, cats and the majority of animal species
  8. 14. an animal which stands on two feet; includes the kangaroo, the human and almost all bird species
  9. 15. Plates cartilage that allows long bones to grow in length; also known as growthplates; plates harden after puberty and eventually turn into solid bone
  10. 17. end portion or end portions of a long bone
  11. 19. break due to the twisting of the shaft of the bone; bone can be broken anywhere and break can lead to oblique, comminuted or fissured breaks, as well
  12. 21. front teeth on the upper and lower jaw
  13. 26. bone structure of an animal that walks on soles of its feet (e.g., human and bear)
  14. 27. complete break at a diagonal to the bone, when the bone does not shift apart
  15. 28. the soft spot in the top of the skull; the location of un-calcified bone at birth
  16. 29. bone break incomplete break caused by bending of the bone in an arc shape; a break most commonly found in long bones
Down
  1. 1. main section of a long bone
  2. 2. non-permanent teeth
  3. 3. an animal which does not possess a backbone
  4. 5. complete break across the bone and perpendicular to the bone
  5. 6. bone that breaks at any point but does not pierce the skin
  6. 8. complete break at a diagonal to the bone, when the bone shifts apart; oblique breaks often lead to compound fractures but can be simple, as well
  7. 11. bone break bone which breaks all the way through
  8. 16. framework of bone, cartilage and other non-bending materials in a body
  9. 18. bone break break that occurs only a portion of the way through the bone
  10. 20. teeth that will remain for the majority of the life of the animal
  11. 22. soft, shock absorbing substance which covers the ends of bones and reduces bone-on-bone injury; also, connective tissue that calcifies and becomes bone with age
  12. 23. bone break bone which breaks and pierces the skin
  13. 24. a type of locomotion or gait in which only the tips of the digits touch the ground and remainder of the foot is off the ground; the gait of ungulates, like horses and cows (Odd-toed examples: horses and rhinos; even-toed examples: cattle, pigs and deer)
  14. 25. location where two bones meet
