Tissues, Organ Systems and Homeostasis
Across
- 3. muscle tissue
- 4. cellular fluid not inside cells.
- 7. tissue located directly below the skin. Specialized in fat storage. a specialized connective tissue, consists partially of plasma and is a reservoir of energy.
- 8. tissues cover the external body and line internal cavities and tubes.
- 10. lining of the digestive tract.
- 11. tissue that is mineral hardened; rich in calcium salts
- 12. receptor cells or parts of cells that detect forms of energy.
- 13. tissue
- 15. aggregation of cells and intercellular substances that perform a common task.
- 16. glands that secrete mucus, saliva, earwax, oil, digestive cell enzymes and other products.
- 18. junctions that are channels connecting the cytoplasm of abutting cells.
- 19. specific forms of energy detected by receptors.
- 20. derived primarily from connective tissue. Serves transport functions.
- 21. dense connective tissue is present in the tendons
- 22. junction spot welds that cement neighbour cells together.
- 24. body structure consisting of more than one tissue
Down
- 1. feedback mechanism set in motion a chain of events that intensify a change from an original condition.
- 2. skins outer layer
- 3. solid yet pliable, has structural and cushioning roles
- 5. depends on receptors, integrators and effectors.
- 6. nerve cell, basic communication unit
- 9. dense connective tissue is present in the skin and forms protection around many organs.
- 14. feedback mechanism where an altered condition is reversed.
- 17. cells that support neurons
- 23. secretory organ derived from epithelium.
