Across
  1. 3. types of fracture where bone is pressed inward
  2. 9. bone building cells
  3. 10. tiny canals that move from the central canal; transport blood,nutrients and waste
  4. 12. the type of bone that is dense and looks smooth;the shaft of long bones
  5. 13. bones breaks into fragments
  6. 15. the type of bone that has an open appearance; the end of long bones
  7. 16. arrangement of of lacunae in concentric circles
  8. 18. the shaft of a long bone; made of compact bone
  9. 21. type of fracture that happens from a twisting force
  10. 23. classification of joints that are slightly movable
  11. 25. bone fractures incompletely; common in children
  12. 27. a thin line that in the epiphyses that is the remnant of "growth plate"
  13. 29. ligaments or tendons are damaged by excessive stretching
  14. 31. the process of forming bone
  15. 33. place where two bones meet; a joint
  16. 35. type of joint that are immovable; ex. sutures
  17. 36. types of fracture where bone is crushed
  18. 37. bones that are typically longer than they are wide
  19. 38. the central canals that lamellae are arranged around
  20. 39. realignment of the broken bone end, followed by immobilization
Down
  1. 1. mature bone cell
  2. 2. the cavity on the inside of the shaft of a long bone
  3. 4. the covering of the shaft of a long bone
  4. 5. type of fracture where broken bones ends are forced into each other
  5. 6. forms when blood vessels break and blood floods and swells the area
  6. 7. classification of joints that are freely movable
  7. 8. tiny cavities found in bone cell matrix
  8. 11. cartilage that covers the external surface of the epiphyses
  9. 14. the marrow that stores fat
  10. 17. the end of long bones; made of spongy bone
  11. 19. classification of joints that are immovable
  12. 20. bones that are thin and flattened; ex: ribs, skull
  13. 22. bones that have an odd shape and don't fit into the other catergories
  14. 24. type of joint that can be either slightly movable or immovable; ex vertebrae, symphysis
  15. 26. bone destroying cells
  16. 28. type of joint that is freely movable; ex. hinge, ball and socket
  17. 30. bones that are cube-shaped; ex: wrist bones
  18. 31. each complex of a central canal and lamellae rings; looks like a cut tree trunk
  19. 32. happens when bone is forced out of its normal position
  20. 34. the marrow that makes red blood cells
