Across
- 2. Flying mammal
- 5. Organ in the abdomen that produces digestive enzymes and insulin.
- 6. cells: Cells that line the surfaces and cavities of tissues and organs throughout the body.
- 11. vesicles Vesicles that merge with the plasma membrane to release their contents.
- 14. endocytosis Process where cells absorb specific molecules by binding to receptors on their surface.
- 20. Process by which cells absorb molecules (such as proteins) by engulfing them.
- 22. Large marsupial
- 23. aggregates Groups or clusters of cells that are closely associated with each other.
- 25. Type of endocytosis where cells engulf extracellular fluid and its dissolved solutes.
- 26. Has a trunk
- 27. Hormone produced by the pancreas that regulates blood sugar levels.
- 28. gland Gland that secretes substances into ducts leading to the body surface or body cavities.
Down
- 1. Type of endocytosis where cells engulf large particles or whole cells.
- 3. membrane Surface of an epithelial cell that faces a lumen or external environment.
- 4. exocytosis Controlled process of vesicle release in response to specific signals or stimuli.
- 7. Refers to glands that secrete substances through ducts to the epithelial surface.
- 8. exocytosis Continuous process of vesicle release by cells to maintain plasma membrane integrity and deliver cell wall components.
- 9. Likes to chase mice
- 10. Type of secretion where the secretory cell remains intact after secretion (e.g., sweat glands).
- 12. Process of releasing a substance from a cell or gland.
- 13. Type of secretion where the apical portion of the cell is lost during secretion (e.g., mammary glands).
- 15. gland Type of exocrine gland that releases its secretion by exocytosis (e.g., salivary glands).
- 16. Refers to glands that secrete hormones directly into the bloodstream.
- 17. Man's best friend
- 18. Organs or tissues in the body that produce substances for release, such as hormones or enzymes.
- 19. Process by which cells expel waste products or secrete substances from internal vesicles into the extracellular environment.
- 21. Type of secretion where the entire cell becomes packed with secretory products and then bursts (e.g., sebaceous glands).
- 24. Refers to substances released or discharged from cells or glands.
