Across
- 4. cell within CT proper that helps make the ground substance and maintain the fibers
- 6. CT that stores energy and provides padding/insulation
- 8. cell junction that allows for very strong attachment of cells to each other or basement membrane
- 9. Cell junction that stops material from crossing the epithelium between cells
- 10. cell junction type that allows neighboring cells exchange small molecules quickly, found in the cardiac muscle
Down
- 1. Part of CT, made up of ground substance and fibers
- 2. Wavy, stretchy (fiber) found in CT that has ability to stretch and recoil
- 3. Most common fibers in connective tissue proper
- 5. fiber type that forms mesh that stabilizes/provides a framework for cells
- 7. Form of glandular secretion where the cell bursts releasing its contents and dying in the process
