Across
  1. 1. bone tissue; a hard, dense connective tissue that forms the structural elements of the skeleton
  2. 5. fibrous covering of the anterior region of the eye that is transparent so that light can pass through it
  3. 6. skeletal muscle that separates the thoracic and abdominal cavities (dome-shaped at rest)
  4. 7. movement in the coronal plane that moves a limb laterally away from the body; spreading of the fingers
  5. 9. cellular organelle formed by a series of flattened, membrane-bound sacs that functions in protein modification, tagging, packaging, and transport
  6. 11. extraocular muscle responsible for lateral rotation of the eye
  7. 14. lipid-rich layer of insulation that surrounds an axon, formed by oligodendrocytes in the CNS and Schwann cells in the PNS; facilitates the transmission of electrical signals
  8. 15. signaling chemical released by nerve terminals that bind to and activate receptors on target cells
  9. 17. most abundant cell type in connective tissue, secretes protein fibers and matrix into the extracellular space
  10. 18. tissue specialized areolar tissue rich in stored fat
  11. 19. describes a substance or structure attracted to water
  12. 20. synovial joint formed between the spherical end of one bone that fits into the depression of a second bone functionally classified as a multiaxial joint
  13. 23. breaking down of more complex molecules into simpler molecules
  14. 24. rhythmic pattern of alternating movements of the lower limbs during locomotion
  15. 25. smooth muscle that is activated in response to external stimuli that pull on hair follicles and make the hair “stand up”
  16. 26. first cervical (C1) vertebra
Down
  1. 2. trabeculated osseous tissue that supports shifts in weight distribution
  2. 3. bone located on the lateral side of the forearm
  3. 4. division of the anterior (ventral) cavity that houses the heart, lungs, esophagus, and trachea
  4. 8. muscle contraction that occurs with no change in muscle length
  5. 10. major region of the diencephalon that is responsible for coordinating autonomic and endocrine control of homeostasis
  6. 12. muscle that stabilizes the upper part of the back
  7. 13. small process that forms the inferior tip of the sternum
  8. 16. systemic nerve from the sacral plexus that is a combination of the tibial and fibular nerves and extends across the hip joint and gluteal region into the upper posterior leg
  9. 20. type of stem cell found in the stratum basale and in the hair matrix that continually undergoes cell division, producing the keratinocytes of the epidermis
  10. 21. one of many branchlike processes that extends from the neuron cell body and functions as a contact for incoming signals (synapses) from other neurons or sensory cells
  11. 22. the single bone of the thigh
