Across
- 3. solid, specialized connective tissue that functions in protection and support for internal structures, production of red blood cells, and storage of lipids, calcium, and phosphorous
- 4. muscle tissue that is involuntary and striated, pumps blood throughout the body
- 5. the inner layer of the skin the contains blood vessels, nerves, hair follicles, and sweat and oil glands
- 7. this membrane is also known as skin and covers the outside of the body
- 10. a layer of loose connective tissue beneath the skin that anchors it to the tissues of other organ systems that lie beneath
- 11. cells that generate and conduct nerve impulses
- 12. describes any epithelial tissue that has more than one layer of cells
- 14. these membranes line passageways that open to the exterior of the body
- 15. tissue that conducts nerve impulses from one part of the body to another
- 16. this system consists of the skin and its derivatives (hair, nails, sweat glands, and oil glands)
- 17. the component of a homeostatic mechanism that detects a change in the external or internal environment
- 18. a specialized connective tissue consisting of a liquid matrix, called plasma, in which its cells and cell fragments are suspended
- 20. these membranes line the cavities of freely movable joints
- 21. tissue that is responsible for body movement and movement of substances through the body
- 24. the component of a homeostatic mechanism that determines the factor's set point or normal range (usually located in the brain)
- 27. epithelium made of flattened, or scale-like cells that forms linings and allows for diffusion of materials
- 28. muscle tissue that consists of long, cylindrical, striated cells with multiple nuclei and provides voluntary movement
- 29. tough but flexible specialized connective tissue that serves as cushioning and helps maintain the structure of certain body parts
Down
- 1. cells of the nervous tissue that support, insulate, and support other cells
- 2. the thin, avascular, outer layer of the skin that forms a protective barrier against environmental hazards
- 6. describes any epithelial tissue that has only one layer of cells
- 8. the component of a homeostatic mechanism that carries out an appropriate response (usually a muscle or gland)
- 9. epithelium made of elongated, column-shaped cells specialized for absorption and secretion
- 12. muscle tissue that is involuntary and not striated, and found in the digestive tract and in the walls of blood vessels and airways
- 13. tissue that overs body surfaces, lines body cavities and organs, and forms glands
- 19. a structure composed of two or more different tissues that work together to perform a common function
- 22. these membranes line the thoracic and abdominal cavities and the organs within them
- 23. tissue that serves as a storage site for fat, plays an important role in immunity, and provides the body and its organs with protection and support
- 25. epithelium made of cube-shaped cells that provide some protection and are specialized for secretion and absorption
- 26. a group of cells of a similar type that work together to serve a common function
