Across
  1. 1. temporary patch for a broken bone- takes about 2 weeks to make
  2. 6. initial swelling from a break that occurs inside the periosteum
  3. 7. made of spicules and has space for red bone marrow
  4. 9. blood vessels that run perpendicular to bone are found here
  5. 10. the femur, humerus and phalanges are this type of bone
  6. 15. small grooves that allow blood to trickle outward from the Haversian canal
  7. 16. dense connective tissue that holds muscle to bone
  8. 18. immune system attacks the synovial membrane
  9. 21. nonmoveable joint(i.e. sternum and ribs) no longer connected in anatomical position
  10. 22. cell that breaks down and remodels bone
  11. 24. dense connective tissue that covers bone
  12. 25. broken bone that penetrates the skin
  13. 27. protective cartilage that covers joints
  14. 31. bone only fractures on one side
  15. 35. type of "yummy" fat that fills medullary cavity
  16. 37. dense connective tissue that holds synovial joints together
  17. 39. also called lamallar bone
  18. 41. surgery performed to place bones back into anatomical position
  19. 43. fracture common from twisting or stress fractures
  20. 44. bone fractures into many pieces

Down
  1. 2. skeleton used primarily for protection
  2. 3. shaft of long bone made of compact bone
