Across
- 3. make up tendons and ligaments
- 7. appears layered, but really only one long layer
- 9. located on body surfaces (skin) and linings (organs)
- 11. support with flexibility;looks like frosted glass when exposed
- 16. combination of cholesterol,proteins, fats, and salts
- 19. encloses the bone except the articular cartilage
- 22. face up (on spine)
- 24. contain powerful digestive enzymes - garbage disposal of cells
- 25. two or more types of tissues arranged into a structure with a specific function
- 26. found within our joints; reduces friction
- 28. blood formation, and occurs in marrow cavities of bone
Down
- 1. hormone that is responsible for the direct stimulation of erythrocytes (Red Blood Cells)
- 2. determines the set point at which the variable is maintained
- 4. a membrane lining the inner surface of the bony wall
- 5. specialized group of cells
- 6. column-like matrix tubes; concentric rings of bone matrix
- 8. made up of columnar epithelial cells;line cavities that open to the outside of the body
- 10. flat cells
- 11. ability to maintain a relatively stable internal environment in an ever-changing outside world
- 12. striated with one nucleus; intercalated discs
- 13. a chemical signal binds to a cellular protein, typically at the cell’s surface.
- 14. most abundant cells in the epidermis
- 15. tough, very strong tissue found predominantly in the intervertebral disks and at the insertions of ligaments and tendons
- 17. the transduced signal triggers a specific cellular activity.
- 18. monitors the environments and responds to changes (stimuli)
- 20. make up organs like the liver, tonsils, appendix and thymus gland
- 21. provides the means to respond to stimuli
- 23. a biochemical process that involves the addition of phosphate to an organic compound
- 27. binding leads to a change in the receptor that triggers a series of changes along a signal-transduction pathway.
