Across
- 3. Consists of 3 types of protein fibers in the matrix; collagen, elastin, and reticular. Packing material around organs providing protection and cushion, helps attach skin to lower layers of tissue
- 5. Consists of specialized cells called adipocytes appearing to be empty sacs, actually contain vacuole with ability to store large quantities of lipids
- 8. Composed of muscle fiber cells meant for contractions
- 9. Specialized cells generating/conducting electrical events, receives stimuli, conducts nerve impulses
- 10. Column shaped cells. Found in the digestive tract and in female reproductive tract
- 13. Platelets fragments from blood cells, dispersed in fluid matrix plasma. Forms blood clots to stop bleeding from blood vessel injury
- 14. Study of Tissues
- 16. Do not have ducts
- 18. Consists of large chondrocytes surrounded by lacunae with elastic fibers and thin collagen fibers dispersed throughout the matrix. Gives tissues ability to stretch and resist tearing
- 20. Red blood cells, small cells with a biconcave disc shape due to lack of nucleus dispersed in a fluid matrix called plasma. Carries oxygen, numerous in blood cells
- 22. Have ducts
- 24. that carry electrical impulses that make up a nerve impulse
- 25. Consists of collagen fibers densely packed in matrix, leaving little room for specialized cells
- 26. Thin, flat, plate-like cells allowing for easy diffusion of materials
- 27. that provide support and protection for the neurons
- 28. layer that can change their shape and fluctuate between squamous and cuboidal
Down
- 1. Cube shaped cells, usually with a nucleus that is proportionally larger
- 2. Consists of thin strands of bone, arranged in a lattice formation known as trabeculae interspersed throughout the matrix, containing red bone marrow producing blood cells
- 4. fibers have a single nucleus found near the center of the fibers and lack striations
- 6. Single layer of columnar cells with base of each cell occurring at same level
- 7. fibers have single nucleus found near the center of the fibers and striations running perpendicular. Make up heart walls allow heart to pump blood
- 11. Form a layer to separate tissues and organs, connect tissues to one another, store minerals, transports, protects
- 12. Consists of small chondrocytes surrounded by lacunae and thick bundles of collagen fibers dispersed throughout the matrix in rows. Collagen fibers provide cushion between the intervertebral discs and joint capsules
- 15. Group together to form organs, specific functions
- 17. Consists of circular structures known as osteons. Each osteon consists of osteocytes surrounded by lacunae closely packed in a hardened matrix
- 19. Protects underlying structures, acts as barriers, permitting passages of substance, secrete substances
- 21. White blood cells, large cells with round shape due to the presence of nucleus dispersed in plasma. Defends body from harmful pathogens, only numerous when body fights infection
- 23. Consists of large chondrocytes surrounded by lacunae grouped together, dense glassy matrix, collagen fibers not visible
