Across
- 2. type of animal tissue made up of cells that create messages (impulses) and transmit information throughout the body, includes neurons, the brain, spinal cord
- 4. the reproductive structure of the plant, produces seeds
- 6. plant organ that transports water/nutrients, but also supports leaves and flowers
- 7. assists digestion by secreting bile
- 9. thin-walled blood vessels involved with gas exchange
- 14. moves water and minerals from the roots up to the leaves, a type of vascular tissue
- 15. animal tissue that lines body cavities and outer structures
- 17. plant tissue that's function depends on where its found (stem = support, roots=stores food and water, leaves=photosynthesis)
- 19. plant tissue that forms a protective layer and allows for the exchange of materials and gases into and out of the plant
- 20. outer protective layer of the skin, made up of epithelial tissue, able to make Vitamin D from the sun
- 22. begins the digestion process (chewing and saliva)
- 24. process in which cells develop in different ways to perform different functions
- 25. connects muscle to bones
- 26. unspecialized plant cell
- 28. long tube that moves food from the mouth to stomach via peristalsis
- 29. pumps blood
- 31. produces insulin and helps with digestion
- 32. animal tissue that supports and protects structures, examples include blood, cartilage, bones, tendons, ligaments
- 35. chemical digestion of food, uses acid and enzymes
- 36. tiny air sacs, made up of a thin layer of epithelial tissue
- 37. pair of organs involved in respiration, made up of connective and epithelial tissue
Down
- 1. portion of blood that clots
- 3. unspecialized animal cell
- 5. anchor the plant and collects water from the soil
- 8. stores bile which aids in digestion
- 10. blood cells that fight infection, made in the bone marrow
- 11. process by in which stem cells become specialized
- 12. moves sugar from the leaves (made via photosynthesis) to other parts of the plant, a type of vascular tissue
- 13. connects bones to bones
- 16. flexible tube that is ringed with cartilage, also called the "windpipe"
- 18. plant organ made up of epidermal tissue, vascular tissue, and mesophyll
- 21. type of connective tissue that contains red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, and plasma
- 23. type of animal tissue that allows for movement
- 24. protective lining for animals, insulates, releases heat, excretes bodily waste, has 2 tissue layers
- 26. specialized ground tissue in which photosynthesis and gas exchange occur
- 27. plant tissue that moves water and food around the plant
- 30. blood cells that contain the protein hemoglobin and function to carry oxygen
- 33. inner layer of the skin, contains muscle, sweat glands, and nerves (made up of connective, muscle, and nervous tissue)
- 34. the liquid portion of the blood
