Across
  1. 2. A sheet or band of fibrous connective tissue enveloping, separating, or binding together muscles
  2. 4. connect muscle to bone
  3. 7. heart muscle
  4. 8. chemical substances that act like messenger molecules in the body. After being made in one part of the body, they travel to other parts of the body where they help control how cells and organs do their work.
  5. 10. hormone responsible for the development of male characteristics
  6. 13. the branch of science concerned with the bodily structure of humans, animals, and other living organisms,
  7. 15. connect bone to bone
  8. 18. top, front portion of the brain consisting of two hemispheres; dominant part of the brain in humans
  9. 19. the cord of nervous tissue that extends from the brain lengthwise along the back in the vertebral canal,
  10. 20. bone contains holes or "pores." These open areas contain blood marrow, nerves, and blood vessels that transport cells and nutrients.
  11. 21. dense bone which is solidly filled with substance and inorganic salts, leaving only tiny spaces
  12. 22. are made up of tissues and work together in systems
  13. 24. fight or flight nervous system
  14. 29. the part of the neuron that pick up sensations or impulses
  15. 30. Firm, rubbery tissue that cushions bones at joints.
  16. 31. endocrine gland in the throat considered to be the master gland because it affects and directs the other glands
Down
  1. 1. tissue or organ that secretes a substance (a hormone) into the bloodstream
  2. 3. found at the back of the brain, below the cerebrum. Controls balance, movement, and coordination.
  3. 5. a substance (as norepinephrine or acetylcholine) that transmits nerve impulses across a synapse
  4. 6. can be red and yellow - where blood cells are produced
  5. 9. nerve cells specialized to carry "messages" through an electro-chemical process.
  6. 11. muscle that surrounds the skeleton, consciously controlled
  7. 12. gap between the axon terminus and dendrite across which neurotransmitters travel
  8. 14. system made up of the brain,spinal cord and neurons throughout the body
  9. 16. muscle not consciously controlled, makes up stomach, intestines, etc
  10. 17. long nerve fiber that conducts away from the cell body of the neuron
  11. 23. system made up of glands such as the thyroid,adrenals and pineal
  12. 25. elbow and knees are this kind of joint
  13. 26. smallest unit of life
  14. 27. neurotransmitter that is primarily inhibitory
  15. 28. ball and socket, hinge, pivotal, suture are examples
