Across
- 3. single layer of epithelial cells
- 4. connective tissue providing more elasticity than rigidity found in vessels
- 7. unstructured material that fills the space between the cells in connective tissue, contain fibers
- 9. A connective tissue that is more flexible than bone and does not contain any blood or nerves.
- 14. Loose connective tissue dominated by adipocytes -which store fat and insulate body
- 15. calcified connective tissue
- 21. tall thick epithelial cells, absorb nutrients, produce secretions, elliptical nuclei
- 22. nerve cell the basic building block of the nervous system
- 26. type of cartilage that covers the ends of bones joining ribcage forming nose
- 28. cartilage that contains fibrous bundles of collagen, good at withstanding pressure such as that of the intervertebral disks in the spinal cord.
- 29. A connective tissue with a fluid matrix called plasma in which red blood cells, white blood cells, and cell fragments called platelets are suspended.
- 30. red blood cells
- 36. bone tissue found in heads of long bones and inner layer of long bones with space for bone marrow.
- 37. blood clotting cell fragments
- 38. Type of cartilage that has a little bit of flexibility; found on the external ear
- 39. thinner fiber proteins found in connective tissue
- 40. one layer of epithelial cells with different shapes and sizes
Down
- 1. connective tissue with regularly organized high density collagen bundles in tendons and ligaments
- 2. white blood cells
- 5. A body tissue that contracts or shortens, making body parts move
- 6. bone tissue that is dense with no visible spaces
- 8. composed of cells that are specialized to produce and secrete hormones and other substances.
- 10. connective tissue with irregular fibers arranged erratically, found in places with tension in all directions (skin).
- 11. connective tissue with fewer fibers, more cells, more ground substance
- 12. cells cube shaped epithelial cells, absorb nutrients, produce secretions,
- 13. provide support and structure to the otherwise shapeless ground substance
- 16. Voluntary muscle pulls on bones and causes body movements. Striated and multi-nucleated
- 17. Involuntary muscle found inside many internal organs of the body. lacks striation, uninucleate.
- 18. layer consisting of several layers of epithelial cells
- 19. cells flat epithelial cells, fast absorption and diffusion, making thin membranes
- 20. Tissue that covers outside of the body and lines organs and cavities. Serves as a protective barrier, secretes substances, and absorbs substances
- 23. specialized muscle tissue found only in the heart. involuntary, striated, uninucleate, branched
- 24. abundant strong fiber protein found in connective tissue
- 25. that senses stimuli and transmits signals.
- 27. glands that secrete hormones directly into the bloodstream
- 31. short fine collagen fibers with extra glycoprotein, form supportive nets in connective tissue
- 32. tissue that provides support for your body and connects all its parts
- 33. loose connective tissue not composed of collagen & elastin, supports development of and storage of blood cells.
- 34. loose connective tissue most common found with epithelial tissue
- 35. secrete chemical substances into ducts that lead either to other organs or out of the body
