| minerals | The skeletal system provides and stores this nutrient |
| blood | A function of the skeletal system is to produce this for cells |
| appendicular | The skeletal system is divided into two parts: the axial skeleton and the ______ skeleton |
| axial | The skull, sternum, ribs, and backbone make up this part of the skeleton |
| long | This type of bone is longer than it is wider and works as a lever |
| short | This type of bone is cubed-shaped and found in the wrists and ankles |
| flat | This type of bone has broad surfaces to protect organs and attach muscles |
| irregular | This type of bone has varied shapes and sizes that do not fit into the other bone categories |
| compact | The _____ bone is dense, hard, and forms the exterior portion of all bones |
| spongy | The _____bone full of tiny holes and inside the compact bone |
| calcium | Bone cells are made of ________ and phosphorus giving bones their strength/ |
| joint | This is an articulation between bones or bones and cartilage held in place by ligaments of connective tissue permitting movement |
| movement | Joints are classified by their degree of _______ |
| synarthroses | This joint classification allows no movement |
| amphiarthroses | This joint classification allows slight movement, ex vertebrae |
| diarthroses | This joint classification freely permits movement |
| tendon | This connects the bone to the muscle |
| ligaments | This connects the bone to another bone |
| brittle | Loss of calcium in bones due to aging makes them more ____ |
| cervical | The first seven vertebrae are called? |
| thoracic | The middle section consisting of 12 vertebrae is called |
| lumbar | Below the thoracic vertebrae is this |
| sacrum | 5 vertebrae fused together is known as |
| coccyx | The last part of the vertebrae also known as your tail bone is called |
| transverse | This type of fracture runs vertically across the bone |
| oblique | This type of fracture runs in a slanting direction |
| spiral | This type of fracture is where the break coils around the bone |
| pathologic | This type of fracture is at the site of a bone disease |
| impacted | This type of fracture is broken and then wedged into that break site |
| dislocation | This type of fracture occurs near a joint |
| depressed | This type of fracture is when the skull bone is driven inward |
| leukemia | This skeletal disease is when the bones produce an abnormal amount of white blood cells and is a common form of cancer |
| spina bifida | This skeletal disease is when there is an incomplete development of the brain/spinal cord and is a common neural tube defect |
| bone cancer | This skeletal disease is when there is an abnormal growth/tumor in the bone |
| osteomalacia | This skeletal disease means soft bones in which the bone is not producing enough vitamin D, calcium, and phosphorus |
| osteoporosis | This skeletal disease is when there is a loss of bony tissue resulting in weak spongy bones and the inability to store calcium |
| kyphosis | This skeletal disease is when there is a curvature of the upper spine resulting in hunchback |
| hyperlordosis | This skeletal disease is when there is a curvature of the lower spine resulting in a swayback |
| scoliosis | This skeletal disease is when a persons spine is curved from side to side and may look like an S or a C |
| arthritis | This disease is when there is inflammation of the joint/joints |
