Across
  1. 3. Consists of 3 types of protein fibers in the matrix; collagen, elastin, and reticular. Packing material around organs providing protection and cushion, helps attach skin to lower layers of tissue
  2. 5. Consists of specialized cells called adipocytes appearing to be empty sacs, actually contain vacuole with ability to store large quantities of lipids
  3. 8. Composed of muscle fiber cells meant for contractions
  4. 9. Specialized cells generating/conducting electrical events, receives stimuli, conducts nerve impulses
  5. 10. Column shaped cells. Found in the digestive tract and in female reproductive tract
  6. 13. Platelets fragments from blood cells, dispersed in fluid matrix plasma. Forms blood clots to stop bleeding from blood vessel injury
  7. 14. Study of Tissues
  8. 16. Do not have ducts
  9. 18. Consists of large chondrocytes surrounded by lacunae with elastic fibers and thin collagen fibers dispersed throughout the matrix. Gives tissues ability to stretch and resist tearing
  10. 20. Red blood cells, small cells with a biconcave disc shape due to lack of nucleus dispersed in a fluid matrix called plasma. Carries oxygen, numerous in blood cells
  11. 22. Have ducts
  12. 24. that carry electrical impulses that make up a nerve impulse
  13. 25. Consists of collagen fibers densely packed in matrix, leaving little room for specialized cells
  14. 26. Thin, flat, plate-like cells allowing for easy diffusion of materials
  15. 27. that provide support and protection for the neurons
  16. 28. layer that can change their shape and fluctuate between squamous and cuboidal
Down
  1. 1. Cube shaped cells, usually with a nucleus that is proportionally larger
  2. 2. Consists of thin strands of bone, arranged in a lattice formation known as trabeculae interspersed throughout the matrix, containing red bone marrow producing blood cells
  3. 4. fibers have a single nucleus found near the center of the fibers and lack striations
  4. 6. Single layer of columnar cells with base of each cell occurring at same level
  5. 7. fibers have single nucleus found near the center of the fibers and striations running perpendicular. Make up heart walls allow heart to pump blood
  6. 11. Form a layer to separate tissues and organs, connect tissues to one another, store minerals, transports, protects
  7. 12. Consists of small chondrocytes surrounded by lacunae and thick bundles of collagen fibers dispersed throughout the matrix in rows. Collagen fibers provide cushion between the intervertebral discs and joint capsules
  8. 15. Group together to form organs, specific functions
  9. 17. Consists of circular structures known as osteons. Each osteon consists of osteocytes surrounded by lacunae closely packed in a hardened matrix
  10. 19. Protects underlying structures, acts as barriers, permitting passages of substance, secrete substances
  11. 21. White blood cells, large cells with round shape due to the presence of nucleus dispersed in plasma. Defends body from harmful pathogens, only numerous when body fights infection
  12. 23. Consists of large chondrocytes surrounded by lacunae grouped together, dense glassy matrix, collagen fibers not visible
