Across
- 2. involuntary;1 nucleus; no striations;contractions
- 7. tissue without blood vessels or nerves
- 8. dense,circular shape; high collagen = support
- 10. connect/support muscle & bone joints
- 12. dense; parallel structure; collagen; tendons
- 14. single layer of cells on basement membrane
- 17. cartilage with collagen and elastin fibers
- 20. cover all body surfaces,organs,cavities
- 21. exits through the duct
- 23. dense; collagen and elastic, flexibility/joints
- 25. dense; soft structure = organ protection
- 26. transmit signals across body; brain and spine
- 27. striated; voluntary; nuclei, surround frame
Down
- 1. long/rectangular shaped cells
- 3. cartilage with thick, gel-like matrix
- 4. thinner matrix, more fibers (collagen specifically)
- 5. transport nutrients throughout body
- 6. loose; fatty; tightly-packed = provides storage
- 9. multiple layers of cells on bm
- 11. flat, scale-like cell structure
- 13. direct to the bloodstream
- 15. predominant connective tissue with lots of space
- 16. allow movement and use of muscles/limbs
- 18. strong cartilage, high collagen; shock absorber
- 19. loose,3 types of fibers; blood vessels and nerves
- 22. spare/circular shaped cells
- 24. striated;involuntary;1 nucleus; contract & relax
