Across
- 2. What type of tissue is a single layer of tall cells (probably containing microvilli, some with cilia, and possibly goblet cells); is designed for absorption, mucus secretion, and propulsion of said mucus; and lines most of the digestive tract?
- 4. What type of cells are column-shaped?
- 6. What type of tissue has spindle shaped cells with central nuclei; has no striations; has closely arranged cells forming sheets; propels substances and is involuntary; and is found in the walls of hollow organs?
- 9. What type of epithelial tissue consists of a single layer?
- 10. What type of tissue contains a fluid matrix; and transports respiratory gases, nutrients, wastes, and other substances?
- 11. What type of tissue is composed of several layers of keratinized and nonkeratinized cells; has metabolically active cells at the base; has keratinized dead cells at the surface; has a primary function of protection in areas exposed to abrasion; and forms the epidermis of the skin?
- 12. What type of tissue resembles stratified squamous and stratified cuboidal; stretches readily; and is found in the urinary system (ureters, bladder, and urethra)?
- 17. What type of tissue gives the appearance of multiple layers, but is actually a single layer; and is found in the lining of most of the upper respiratory tract?
- 20. What type of tissue has branching, striated, Y-shaped cells; connect at specialized junctions called intercalated discs; propels blood; and is involuntary?
- 21. What type of tissue contains a firm matrix with collagen fibers, chondroblasts during production, and chondrocytes in lacunae; forms the embryonic skeleton; forms the costal cartilages of the ribs; and forms the cartilages of the nose, trachea, and larynx?
- 22. What type of tissue is dense containing a high proportion of elastic fibers; allows recoil after stretching; and is found in the walls of large arteries?
- 23. What type of cell is as tall as it is wide?
- 24. What type of tissue consists of parallel collagen fibers; attaches muscles to bones, muscles to muscles, and bones to bones; withstands great stress when pulling force is applied in one direction; and is found in tendons and most ligaments?
- 26. What type of tissue contains all three fiber types and some white blood cells; wraps and cushions organs; plays an important role in inflammation; surrounds capillaries, is distributed under the epithelia, and packages organs?
Down
- 1. What type of tissue has thick collagen fibers predominating; allows absorption of compressive shock; and is found in intervertebral discs, pubic symphysis, and the discs of knee joints?
- 3. What type of tissue is similar to hyaline, but has more elastic fibers; maintains the shape of a structure but allows great flexibility; and is found in the external ear and epiglottis?
- 5. What classification of tissues contains an extracellular matrix and has the common origin of mesenchyme?
- 6. What type of epithelial tissue consists of multiple layers?
- 7. What type of tissue is a single layer of flattened cells; allows materials to pass by diffusion and filtration; and is located in the air sacs of lungs?
- 8. What type of tissue has long, cylindrical, multinucleate cells; has obvious striations; and is responsible for voluntary movement?
- 13. What type of tissue is a loose network of reticular fibers; forms a soft internal skeleton to support other cell types; and is found in lymphoid organs?
- 14. What type of tissue is irregularly arranged collagen fibers; withstands tension from many directions and provides structural strength; and is found in the dermis of the skin, joints, and submucosa of the digestive tract?
- 15. What type of tissue is a hard, calcified matrix with many collagen fibers and is very well vascularized; and stores calcium, other minerals, and fat?
- 16. What type of tissue has the nucleus of the cells squished to the side of the cell; provides a fuel reserve, insulates, and supports and protects organs; and is found under subcutaneous tissue, surrounds the kidneys and eyeballs, are found in the abdomen, and composes breast tissue?
