Hint	Answer	% Correct
The adult human body has ___ bones	206	83%
Production of _____ cells	Blood	83%
Protect ______	Organs	83%
Allow ________	Movement	75%
Bands of tissue that connect the muscle to the bone	Tendons	75%
When the cartilage starts to wear, which will cause dry friction between the bones during movement, causing pain during movement	Arthritis	67%
Bands of strong connective tissue that hold / connect bones together	Ligaments	67%
Bone loss caused by calcium deficiency, leads to fragile and brittle bones	Osteoporosis	67%
Smooth and flexible substance that covers the tip of the bones where bones meet. The lubricated substance will allow bones to perform movement whilst meeting each other's tips without any dry friction	Cartilage	58%
When there's a break in the bone due to stress, age, trauma or illness	Fracture	58%
	Calcified	50%
1. Supports weight and facilitates movement, longer than they are wide (e.g. femur and humerus)	Long bone	50%
The Three Bone Cells 1. Account for bone formation, remodeling bones and repairing damaged bone tissue 2. Monitors the bone tissue and alerts other cells when damage or change takes place 3. Will dissolve / remove old / damaged bone tissue to allow new tissue to be formed	Osteoblasts	50%
	Osteoclasts	50%
Bone cancer	Osteosarcoma	50%
Where bones come together 1. Allows no movement (e.g. skull bones) 2. Allows limited movement (e.g. rib cage) 3. Allows full movement (e.g. kneecap, shoulder, elbow)	Joints	42%

3. Flattened, broad surface, protects internal organs, e.g. ribs, pelvis, shoulder blade, skull and breast bone	Flat bone	33%
4. Has a complex shape, which helps protect the organs, e.g. spine	Irregular bone	33%
Store ________	Minerals	33%
2. A squat, cubed-shaped, provide stability and some movement, e.g. wrist and ankle bones	Short bone	33%
5. Embedded in tendons, reinforces and protects tendons to stress and wear, e.g. kneecap	Sesamoid bone	25%
	Compact bone	17%
The Three Layers of the Bone 1. Though membrane that covers / protects the outside of the bone 2. White, hard, and smooth layer that provides structural support and protection 3. The core, inner layer of the bone, contains small pores to store marrow	Periosteum	17%
	Spongy bone	17%
When connective tissues such as ligaments and tendons overstretch or tear due to age, trauma or illness	Sprains & Tears	17%
