Tissues
Across
- 3. bone/ Dense, solid bone made up of inorganic ground substances and salts
- 5. star-shaped glial cell that links the nerve to blood vessels and provides nourishment to neurons (for health and efficiency)
- 6. membrane/A thin layer of tissue that covers a surface, lines a cavity, or divides a space or organ
- 8. loosely bound tissue that stores fat in the body
- 10. red, fluid connective tissue that carries oxygen to other tissues in an animal's body
- 11. blood cell/a cell that is larger than an erythrocyte,contains a nucleus, is translucent-white in color, and aids in a body's immunity
Down
- 1. general, biological science that focuses on the structures of organisms, including their cells, tissue, and organs
- 2. muscle/A muscle that is involuntary, striated, and only found in the walls of the heart.
- 3. Supportive connective tissue made up of small cells called lacunae which do not have a direct blood supply Strong, flexible, white fibers containing a collagen protein
- 4. tough, flexible cord of strong, dense, fibrous tissue that connects muscle to bones
- 7. grouping of tightly specialized cells that perform unique functions throughout the body
- 9. A rigid, hard, whitish connective tissue composed of inorganic salts (such as calcium salts) tight junctions/Sealed areas between cells; proteins tightly hold epithelial tissue to fill cavity space
