Anatomy

4. epithelial tissue involved in the production and release of different secretory products
7. composed of cells that have the special ability to shorten or contract in order to produce movement of the body parts
8. cells that are taller than they are wide (like a rectangle)
9. living tissue that makes up the body's skeleton
11. Flat cell that looks like a fish scale under a microscope
13. glands A gland that makes substances such as sweat, tears, saliva, milk, and digestive juices, and releases them through a duct or opening to a body surface.
15. A movable joint comprised of a layer of fibrocartilage or hyaline cartilage that lines the opposing bony surfaces, and a lubricating synovial fluid in the synovial cavity
16. A type of white blood cell that surrounds and kills microorganisms, removes dead cells, and stimulates the action of other immune system cells
18. a type of epithelial tissue that is composed of more than one layer of epithelial cells
21. a specific type of connective tissue cell that is found in skin and tendons and other tough tissues in the body
23. Single layer of cells of differing heights, giving the false appearance of more than one layer, when it is actually a single layer.
25. Containing one row of cells
26. epithelium (as of the urinary bladder) consisting of several layers of cells which become flattened when stretched
27. Cells found in cartilage connective tissue

1. Tissue that supports, protects, and gives structure to other tissues and organs in the body
2. the fiber in the extracellular matrix of connective tissues characterized by being elongated and made up of collagen glycoproteins
3. Cells inside the body
5. Pertaining to hormones and the glands that make and secrete them into the bloodstream through which they travel to affect distant organs
6. short bands of tough, flexible tissue, made up of lots of individual fibres, which connect the bones of the body together
10. A type of white blood cell that is found in connective tissues all through the body, especially under the skin, near blood vessels and lymph vessels, in nerves, and in the lungs and intestines.
12. a fibrous connective tissue that attaches muscle to bone
14. fine fibrous connective tissue occurring in networks to make up the supporting tissue of many organs
17. Scent glands, and their secretions usually have an odor
19. A structural cartilaginous tissue for non-load-bearing body parts, such as ears, nose, and epiglottis
20. Viscous fluid that moistens, lubricates, and protects many of the passages of the digestive and respiratory tracts in the body.
22. a thin membrane (such as the peritoneum) with cells that secrete a serous fluid
24. a group of cells that have similar structure and that function together as a unit
