Across

2. type of dense fibrous connective tissue that is composed primarily of collagen fibers that are aranged in thicker bundles that are interwoven randomly that can withstand forces in many different directions
6. cells that play an important role in the formation of cartilage
10. commonly known as fat; found beneath the skin, in spaces between muscles, behind the eyeballs, on the surface of the heart, surrounding the joints, in bone marrow, and in the omentum of the abdomen
12. portion of membrane that lines the cavity wall
14. type of adipose tissue found throughout the body, particularly in deep layers of the skin
17. largest classification of connective tissue and contains every subtype of connective tissue except bone, cartilage and blood
18. cells that play an important role in the formation of bone
20. portion of membrane that covers the outer surfaces of organs
23. areolar connective tissue located in mucous membranes
24. small protein containing no sulfate that acts as a intercellular material present in the zonula adherens. It is important in the formation of tight junctions
27. fiber composed primarily of protein elastin; also referred to as yellow fibers
28. transudate in region around heart
30. flata, star-shaped cells that form netlike connections with other cells throughout the tissue they compose. Involved in the immune response and in the manufacture of reticular fibers
31. latin word that means small, open space
34. presence of an effusion in the peritoneal space of the abdominopelvic cavity
36. most abundant tissue type by weight
37. lacking a clear structure
38. most atypical connective tissue; red fluid that passes through vessels and that carries nutrient molecules and gases throughout the body
40. platelets
44. tough, specialized connective tissue that is commonly called gristle. found in joints.does not contain nerves. slow to heal
48. type of dense fibrous connective tissue that is composed of tightly packed, parallel collagen fibers. Gives strength in one direction. Silvery or white. Slow to heal.
49. fibers of connective tissue located outside cells that perform a variety of functions depedning on the degree of their elasticity or concentration
52. unbranched chains of glycoproteins; negatively charged polysaccharide compounds
54. cells that remain in the connective tissue
55. prevents blood from clotting and ensures that the pathways for increased blood flow remain open
57. connective tissue characterized by its densely packed arrangement of collagen fibers
58. most common type of cartilage found in body; most rigid type of cartilage
59. liquid component of blood
60. massive, irregularly shaped phagocytizing scavengers that may be either fixed or transient in connective tisuse. Engulf microbes, dead cells, and debris
61. the nonliving substance found between cells that provides support and nourishment
62. connective tissue composed of a complex, three dimensional network of thin reticular fibers. Contains only reticular fibers.
63. kidney disorder where you pass too much protein in your urine
64. subclass of connective tissue proper that includes areolar, adipose, and reticular tissue

Down

1. composed of collagen but not thick
3. type of dense fibrous connective tissue that can stretch and is primarily composed of elastic fibers
4. membrane rich in tiny blood vessels that surrounds cartilage
5. hollowed out pockets in the matrix
7. any of the minute tubes which form a network in bone and contain blood vessels
8. process through which leukocytes squeeze through the walls of tiny blood vessels to enter surrounding tissue
9. body fat, a connective tissue that extends throughout the body
11. oval cells that are easily identified by the large number of dark-staining granules stored in the cytoplasm. these granules contain histamine and heparin
13. most common type of connective tissue and is found everywhere in the body. randomly placed fibers and cells suspended in a thick, translucent ground substance. Predominant cell is the fibroblast
15. subclass of connective tissue proper that includes dense regular, dense irregular, and elastic tissue
16. increases blood flow to the area by making the capillaries leaky
19. type of adipose tissue that is found in newborn animals and in animals that hibernate during the winter. Plays an important role in temperature regulation
21. type of cartilage that contains a plethora of elastic fibers
22. white blood cells; found in blood and move into connective tissue in large numbers during time of infection.
25. strong, thick strands composed of the structural protein collagen. Also known as white fibers
26. type of cartilage usually found merged with hyaline cartilage and dense connective tissue. lacks a perichondrium.
29. a fixed cell that manufactures and secretes both the fibers and the ground substance characteristic of their particular matrix
32. middle developmental layer between the ectoderm and endoderm
33. macrophages in loose connective tissue
35. macrophages in liver
39. ex: leukocytes mast cells, macrophages
41. cells that pass in and out of the connective tissue, and are generally involved in the repair and protection of the tissue
42. enzyme that liquefies the matrix and allows white blood cells to pass through with greater ease
43. a small channel or duct.
45. red blood cells
46. macrophages in brain
47. osseous connective tissue
50. transudate in the adbdomen
51. the shapeless, viscous matrix present in connective tissue in which cells receive nutrients and void waste products. Also helps the body from infectious agents by acting as a barrier
53. transudate in the thorax
56. spaces in loose connective tissue fill with an excessive amount of fluid
