Across
  1. 3. A group of similar cells working together to perform a specific function
  2. 6. Transports glucose produced in photosynthesis from the leaves to the rest of the plant
  3. 7. Specialized cells in epidermal tissue that open and close which allow carbon dioxide, water vapour and oxygen to move in and out
  4. 8. This type of muscle tissue is under voluntary control and found in any skeletal muscle (triceps, biceps, etc)
  5. 10. This type of tissue supports the body, attaches muscles, binds joints, packs around organs
  6. 13. Part of a neuron that receives a nerve impulse and moves it forward to the nerve endings
  7. 15. Plant tissue that transports water and nutrients
  8. 16. This type of muscle tissue is found in the heart and under involuntary control
  9. 17. Part of a neuron that passes a message to neighbouring neurons in order for a message to get to a target location in the body
Down
  1. 1. Plant stem cells are found in this tissue
  2. 2. Transports water and nutrients from the roots of a plant to the leaves
  3. 4. This type of tissue lines body cavities and structures, protects structures
  4. 5. This type of muscle tissue is under involuntary control, and contracts, relaxes and extends to move food, waste, blood around tubes
  5. 7. Most of the plant is made up of this tissue (stores food, allows for photosynthesis to occur and provides strength and support)
  6. 9. Part of a neuron that picks up a nerve impulse from the preceding neuron
  7. 11. Formed when bundles of neurons come together
  8. 12. Cells that make up nervous tissue
  9. 14. This type of tissue functions to contract, relax and extend limbs and other body parts
  10. 18. Plant tissue that forms the protective outer coating (clear and thin allowing for gas exchange)
