Across
- 3. liquid form of connective tissue
- 6. is similar to hyaline cartilage but contains more elastin fibers and is more flexible, an example is the outer ear. Finally
- 8. striated cells with involuntary control of the heart
- 9. excitatory
- 10. connect bone to bone, cartilage to cartilage, and cartilage to bone
- 13. is also considered connective tissue, osseus
- 15. over muscles or are points of origin or insertion of skeletal muscle
- 17. most common cartilage, provides strength and flexibility,
- 18. striations in cells, voluntary control of movements
Down
- 1. cells- non-conducting cells that support, insulate and protect neurons
- 2. connect muscle to bone
- 4. conduct nerve impulses
- 5. layers of epithelial/connective tissue that cover and protect body cavities and other surfaces: mucous, serous, synovial and cutaneous
- 7. specialized connective tissue.
- 8. functions for fixation and support, protection, energy reserve, transportation of fluids and other substances.
- 11. is composed of dense collagen fibers that provide strength and shock absorption. An example is intervertebral discs.
- 12. no striations in cells, involuntary control of body organs
- 14. connective tissue that covers and groups anatomical structures and serves as a point of attachment of some muscles
- 16. functions for protection, absorption and filtration, excretion and secretion, and sensation. It can be found in the respiratory, digestive, cardiac, and vascular systems
