Across
- 3. the hand bones
- 8. a flat bone that protects the heart
- 11. the section of the spine that connect to the ribs
- 12. the lower back
- 14. a type of synovial joint that allows a wide range of movement (sideways,backwards/forwards, rotation), e.g. hip
- 16. a long bone often called the shin bone
- 19. 12 pairs of flat bones that protect the lungs
- 20. a type of bone tissue that provides some of the shock absorption required at the end of long bones or at the edges of more irregular bones
- 23. a long bone, the largest bone of the body
- 25. a feature of synovial joints. Lubricates the inside of the joint
- 27. a function of the skeletal system where the skeleton provides ________ to internal organs such as the heart, lungs and the brain.
- 32. a long bone, the thumb side forearm bone
- 33. a sesamoid bone often called the knee cap
- 34. these are inelastic and very strong, allowing movement by helping muscles pull through the joint and on the bones
- 36. production of this occurs within the marrow of long bones
- 39. the finger and toe bones
- 42. also known as growth plates, are the centres for bone growth
- 43. one of the three bones that make up the shoulder girdle, commonly called the shoulder blade
- 44. bones that have a key role of protection. eg. the bones of the skull
- 45. a function of the skeletal system where bones store calcium, phosphorous and small amounts of magnesium, sodium and chlorine.
Down
- 1. the pinky side forearm bone
- 2. the neck bones
- 4. allows movement in only one direction (backwards/forwards), e.g. elbow
- 5. a feature of synovial joints. Lines the inside of the capsule / produces & secretes synovial fluid
- 6. found in the shaft or diaphysis of the long bone. This comparatively solid bone surrounds the cavity of the long bone, offering an extremely strong
- 7. joints that offer no movement. Ex. the skull
- 9. Allows movement in two directions (sideways, backwards/forwards), e.g. thumb
- 10. have no regular shape characteristics
- 13. type of joint that offer a full range of movement and move freely in at least one direction. Ex knee
- 15. they cross over joints, joining bone to bone. Their slight elasticity allows small movement from the bones of the joint.
- 17. slightly moveable, joints are joined by cartilage and allow small movements. Ex. vertebrae
- 18. long bones of the foot
- 21. a feature of synovial joints. Lines the bones / protects / reduces friction
- 22. a smooth, slightly elastic tissue found in various forms within the body such as hyaline, vertebral discs, ribs joints, nose and ears
- 24. also called the spine, provides the central structure for the maintenance of good posture
- 25. small bones developed in tendons around some joints; for example, the patella
- 26. type of bone, longer than they are wide, and they have a hollow shaft containing marrow
- 28. a feature of synovial joints. Surrounds the joint / adds stability / stops substances entering or leaving joint
- 29. the wrist bones
- 30. Allows only gliding or sliding movements (sideways, backwards/forwards), e.g. carpals of the wrist
- 31. commonly called the jaw bone
- 35. sometimes called the tail bones
- 37. one of the three bones that make up the shoulder girdle, commonly called the collar bone
- 38. are roughly cubical, with the same width and length; for example, the carpals of the wrist
- 40. a long bone and one of the three bones that make up the shoulder girdle, commonly called the upper arm bone
- 41. short bones of the ankles
