Across
- 1. bone tissue; a hard, dense connective tissue that forms the structural elements of the skeleton
- 5. fibrous covering of the anterior region of the eye that is transparent so that light can pass through it
- 6. skeletal muscle that separates the thoracic and abdominal cavities (dome-shaped at rest)
- 7. movement in the coronal plane that moves a limb laterally away from the body; spreading of the fingers
- 9. cellular organelle formed by a series of flattened, membrane-bound sacs that functions in protein modification, tagging, packaging, and transport
- 11. extraocular muscle responsible for lateral rotation of the eye
- 14. lipid-rich layer of insulation that surrounds an axon, formed by oligodendrocytes in the CNS and Schwann cells in the PNS; facilitates the transmission of electrical signals
- 15. signaling chemical released by nerve terminals that bind to and activate receptors on target cells
- 17. most abundant cell type in connective tissue, secretes protein fibers and matrix into the extracellular space
- 18. tissue specialized areolar tissue rich in stored fat
- 19. describes a substance or structure attracted to water
- 20. synovial joint formed between the spherical end of one bone that fits into the depression of a second bone functionally classified as a multiaxial joint
- 23. breaking down of more complex molecules into simpler molecules
- 24. rhythmic pattern of alternating movements of the lower limbs during locomotion
- 25. smooth muscle that is activated in response to external stimuli that pull on hair follicles and make the hair “stand up”
- 26. first cervical (C1) vertebra
Down
- 2. trabeculated osseous tissue that supports shifts in weight distribution
- 3. bone located on the lateral side of the forearm
- 4. division of the anterior (ventral) cavity that houses the heart, lungs, esophagus, and trachea
- 8. muscle contraction that occurs with no change in muscle length
- 10. major region of the diencephalon that is responsible for coordinating autonomic and endocrine control of homeostasis
- 12. muscle that stabilizes the upper part of the back
- 13. small process that forms the inferior tip of the sternum
- 16. systemic nerve from the sacral plexus that is a combination of the tibial and fibular nerves and extends across the hip joint and gluteal region into the upper posterior leg
- 20. type of stem cell found in the stratum basale and in the hair matrix that continually undergoes cell division, producing the keratinocytes of the epidermis
- 21. one of many branchlike processes that extends from the neuron cell body and functions as a contact for incoming signals (synapses) from other neurons or sensory cells
- 22. the single bone of the thigh
