Across
- 2. Secrete collagen matrix
- 4. bone absorbing cell (breaking down, needed in
- 5. Structural protein found in the skin (acts as rope for the skin to be tied down and flexible)
- 7. Rows of Chondrocytes with thick collagen fibers, flexible
- 9. Mostly water, no blood vessels, tough, resilient, new cartilage, heals poorly, functions as main connective tissue to connect bones, and has the second form known as a matrix which gives bones "organizational structure"
Down
- 1. Cells that respond to trauma and act as emergency healers to the bone
- 3. Similar to Hyaline Cartilage, very flexible and found in the external ear, epiglottis
- 6. create new bone tissue (i.e calcium phosphate for bones), found in areas of high metabolism
- 8. Fine collagen fiber matrix most abundant type of cartilage in ribs, nose, lungs
