Across
  1. 5. type of connective tissue proper with more spaces between protein fibers and more cells
  2. 8. formation of blood cells from stem cells in the bone marrow
  3. 12. cartilage with alternating rows of chondrocytes and collagen found in intervertebral disks and the knee joint
  4. 14. process of bone formation
  5. 15. type of bone tissue that makes up the rigid out layer
  6. 16. suffix that describes a mature cell
  7. 18. type of loose connective tissue made up mostly of cells that provides insulation as well as an energy reserve
  8. 21. cell fragments in blood that promote clotting and repair to blood vessels
  9. 23. protein fibers made from elastin that are able to stretch and recoil and found in the skin
  10. 27. protein fibers and ground substance outside of cells
  11. 28. strong yet flexible protein fibers designed to resist tearing that make up your tendons and ligaments
  12. 29. the formation of cartilage
  13. 30. most common type of cartilage firm with some flexibility
  14. 31. most common type of loose connective tissue in the body that serves as packing material and cushions organs
Down
  1. 1. watery unstructured material that fills the space between cells
  2. 2. white blood cells
  3. 3. type of bone tissue that fills the ends of bones with more spaces containing bone marrow
  4. 4. dense connective tissue that surrounds cartilage providing a blood supply to the avascular tissue
  5. 6. red blood cells
  6. 7. the fluid ECM of blood containing mostly water
  7. 9. type of dense connective tissue that is designed to be pulled in all directions and is found in the skin
  8. 10. suffix that describes an immature cell
  9. 11. similar to hyaline cartilage but more flexibility
  10. 13. type of cartilage growth that results from the mitotic division of preexisting chondrocytes
  11. 17. type of cartilage growth that results from stem cells in the perichondrium differentiating into chondroblasts
  12. 19. type of dense connective tissue that is designed to pull in one direction and makes up tendons and ligaments
  13. 20. examples include collagen, elastic, and reticular
  14. 22. thin and delicate protein fibers that form mesh frameworks that provide structure and support surrounding organs
  15. 24. type of connective tissue proper with few spaces between protein fibers and fewer cells also known as fibrous connective tissue
  16. 25. openings in the matrix of cartilage and bone that hold the cells
  17. 26. embryonic tissue from which all connective tissues develop
