Across
- 2. Contains keratohyalin granules; squamous, live cells.
- 5. Smooth muscle responsible for "goosebumps."
- 6. Common, arises from the basal layer.
- 7. Produces keratin, forms the water barrier, produces Vitamin D3.
- 9. Thermoregulation; secretes watery and proteinaceous components via merocrine secretion.
- 11. Originates from the stratum spinosum.
- 12. Several cell layers with desmosomes ("spines").
- 14. Dead cells, stains lightly.
- 16. Basal-most layer, mitotically active cells, contains hemidesmosomes.
- 17. Neural crest-derived; produces melanin for UV protection.
- 19. Thick, dense irregular connective tissue with collagen bundles.
- 20. Contains adipose tissue for insulation, smooth, and skeletal muscles.
Down
- 1. Thin, loose connective tissue without collagen bundles.
- 3. Found in areas like the axilla; associated with hair follicles, secrete pheromones.
- 4. Secretes sebum via holocrine secretion; associated with hair follicles.
- 8. Monocyte-derived antigen-presenting cells.
- 10. Keratinized, dead cells filled with lipids for water impermeability.
- 13. Sensory mechanoreceptor cells in the stratum basale.
- 15. Contains dermal papilla and matrix cells.
- 18. Derived from melanocytes; highly aggressive.
