Across
- 1. type of tissue that is capable of contracting and generating tension in response to stimulation; produces movement.
- 6. CT membrane that lines the cavities of freely movable joints, producing synovial fluid for lubrication
- 10. outermost embryonic germ layer(epidermis and the nervous tissue)
- 13. fine fibrous protein, made of collagen subunits, cross-links to form supporting “nets” within CT
- 17. type of tissue that covers or lines body parts, protects body; functions in absorption, transport, and secretion
- 20. fluid or semi-fluid portion of matrix
- 21. alignment of parallel actin and myosin filaments which form a banded pattern
- 22. tissue membrane that lines body cavities and lubricates them with serous fluid
- 28. Has a trunk
- 29. release of a substance caused by the rupture of a gland cell, which becomes part of the secretion
- 32. part of a cell or tissue which faces open space
- 34. accidental death of cells and tissues
- 35. cartilage cell
- 36. point of cell-to-cell contact, connects one cell to another in a tissue
- 37. most abundant cell type in CT, secretes protein fibers and matrix into the extracellular space
- 39. widening of blood vessels
- 42. muscle cells
- 44. unicellular gland found in columnar epithelium that secretes mucous
- 45. type of tissue that is capable of sending and receiving impulses through electrochemical signals
- 47. microscopic study of tissue
- 48. Large marsupial
- 50. skin; ET made up of a strat squam epi cells that cover the outside of the body
- 51. functional cells of a gland or organ
- 54. group of cells within the serous membrane that secrete a lubricating substance onto the surface
- 55. lipid storage cells
- 56. tissue membrane covered by protective mucous, lines tissue exposed to the outside environment
Down
- 2. flexible fibrous proteins, gives CT tensile strength
- 3. wound edges are close enough to be brought together and fastened if necessary (quicker and more thorough healing)
- 4. release of a substance from a gland via exocytosis
- 5. group of cells that secrete mucous which keeps tissues moist; lubricant
- 7. mechanically attaches adjacent cells to each other or to the basement membrane
- 8. extracellular material which is produced by the cells embedded in it, ground substance + fibers
- 9. fibrous protein in CT, contains protein elastin, allows the fibers to stretch and return to original size
- 11. Man's best friend
- 12. less active form of fibroblast
- 14. groups of cells that release chemical signals into the ECF to be transported via blood to target organs
- 15. forms an impermeable barrier between cells
- 16. middle embryonic germ layer (CT, MT, some ET)
- 18. group of cells that are similar in form and perform related functions
- 19. areolar connective tissue underlying a mucous membrane
- 23. group of epithelial cells that secrete substances through ducts that open to the skin or to internal body surfaces that lead to the exterior of the body
- 24. release of a substance along with the apical portion of cell
- 25. response of tissue to injury
- 26. allows cytoplasmic communications to occur between cells
- 27. Flying mammal
- 30. wound healing facilitated by wound contraction
- 31. supportive neural cells
- 33. borders of a wound are physically drawn together
- 38. thin extracellular layer under epithelial cells, separates them from other tissues
- 40. loss of mass and function
- 41. Likes to chase mice
- 43. in epithelial tissue, thin layer of fibrous material that anchors epithelium to underlying CT
- 46. small spaces in bone or cartilage tissue that cells occupy
- 49. programmed cell death
- 52. type of tissue that serves to hold in place, connect, and integrate the body’s organs and systems
- 53. innermost embryonic germ layer (digestive system and lower respiratory system)
