Across
  1. 2. type of animal tissue made up of cells that create messages (impulses) and transmit information throughout the body, includes neurons, the brain, spinal cord
  2. 4. the reproductive structure of the plant, produces seeds
  3. 6. plant organ that transports water/nutrients, but also supports leaves and flowers
  4. 7. assists digestion by secreting bile
  5. 9. thin-walled blood vessels involved with gas exchange
  6. 14. moves water and minerals from the roots up to the leaves, a type of vascular tissue
  7. 15. animal tissue that lines body cavities and outer structures
  8. 17. plant tissue that's function depends on where its found (stem = support, roots=stores food and water, leaves=photosynthesis)
  9. 19. plant tissue that forms a protective layer and allows for the exchange of materials and gases into and out of the plant
  10. 20. outer protective layer of the skin, made up of epithelial tissue, able to make Vitamin D from the sun
  11. 22. begins the digestion process (chewing and saliva)
  12. 24. process in which cells develop in different ways to perform different functions
  13. 25. connects muscle to bones
  14. 26. unspecialized plant cell
  15. 28. long tube that moves food from the mouth to stomach via peristalsis
  16. 29. pumps blood
  17. 31. produces insulin and helps with digestion
  18. 32. animal tissue that supports and protects structures, examples include blood, cartilage, bones, tendons, ligaments
  19. 35. chemical digestion of food, uses acid and enzymes
  20. 36. tiny air sacs, made up of a thin layer of epithelial tissue
  21. 37. pair of organs involved in respiration, made up of connective and epithelial tissue
Down
  1. 1. portion of blood that clots
  2. 3. unspecialized animal cell
  3. 5. anchor the plant and collects water from the soil
  4. 8. stores bile which aids in digestion
  5. 10. blood cells that fight infection, made in the bone marrow
  6. 11. process by in which stem cells become specialized
  7. 12. moves sugar from the leaves (made via photosynthesis) to other parts of the plant, a type of vascular tissue
  8. 13. connects bones to bones
  9. 16. flexible tube that is ringed with cartilage, also called the "windpipe"
  10. 18. plant organ made up of epidermal tissue, vascular tissue, and mesophyll
  11. 21. type of connective tissue that contains red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, and plasma
  12. 23. type of animal tissue that allows for movement
  13. 24. protective lining for animals, insulates, releases heat, excretes bodily waste, has 2 tissue layers
  14. 26. specialized ground tissue in which photosynthesis and gas exchange occur
  15. 27. plant tissue that moves water and food around the plant
  16. 30. blood cells that contain the protein hemoglobin and function to carry oxygen
  17. 33. inner layer of the skin, contains muscle, sweat glands, and nerves (made up of connective, muscle, and nervous tissue)
  18. 34. the liquid portion of the blood
