Pruyne Review

4. A larger functional unit formed by combination of two or more tissues
6. a layer of tightly adherent cells that line nearly all inner or outer surfaces of the body
8. type of white blood cell that help your immune system fight infections and heal injuries
9. a tightly packed form of DNA
11. Elongated cells (called myocytes or muscle fibers) specialized for contraction
13. secretory granules with poorly-stained carbohydrate-rich mucins. Secreted mucins absorb water, producing protective mucus layer
16. ECM layer separating an epithelium from underlying tissues

1. Supporting framework for other tissues and connects organs to each other
2. a red blood cell that (in humans) is typically a biconcave disc without a nucleus
3. small stem cells in a protected niche near the basal lamina
5. a lightly packed form of DNA
7. Study of the microscopic anatomy of cells and tissues
10. A group of cells and their associated extracellular matrix (ECM) that perform specific functions
12. Bone maintainers encased within lacunae (holes) in the bone that have cellular extensions (dendrites) that form a network
14. abundant mitochondria make the cytoplasm eosinophilic, produce ATP to power the motile apical cilia, whose beating sweeps out of airways
15. engulf pathogens and debris in tissues
