  1. 3. Whitish cords made up of bundles of nerve fibers held together by connective tissue, through which impulses are transmitted
  2. 11. Consists of the brain, spinal cord, spinal nerves and cranial nerves
  3. 12. The basic unit of all living things
  4. 16. Part of the central nervous system contained in the cranium; the largest and most complex nerve tissue
  5. 18. A portion of the central nervous system, that originates in the brain, extends down to the lower extremity of the trunk, and is protected by the spinal column
  6. 20. The capacity for doing work
  7. 21. Cells that transmit nerve impulses
  8. 22. Tissue that stores energy and gives smoothness and contour to the body
  9. 25. Transports chemical energy within cells for metabolism
  10. 27. The dense, active protoplasm found in the center of the cell
  11. 28. The normal process of cell reproduction in human tissues that occurs when the cell divides into two identical cells
  12. 29. The part of the cell that encloses the protoplasm and permits soluble substances to enter and leave

Down
  1. 1. Chemical compounds that are used by the body to function properly and maintain health
  2. 2. Blood cells that carry oxygen from the lungs to the body cells and transport carbon dioxide from the cells back to the lungs
  3. 4. A collection similar cells that perform a particular function
  4. 5. Tissue that contracts and moves the various parts of the body
  5. 6. Tissue that supports, protects and binds together other tissues of the body
  6. 7. A thin stringy layer of connective tissue that surrounds and supports every structure of the body, including muscles, organs, bones, nerves, and joints.

  11. 14. Small organs located inside the cell
  12. 15. Take in nutrients, break them down, and create energy for the cell
  13. 17. A chemical process in living organisms that converts nutrients to energy
  14. 19. Firm, flexible, connective tissue found in various forms in the larynx and respiratory tract, the external ear, and in the articulating surfaces of joints
  15. 23. A protective lining on cavities of the body and surfaces of organs
  16. 24. Capable of being dissolved or liquefied
  17. 26. Tissue that carries messages through the central nervous system to control and coordinate all bodily functions
