Across
  1. 1. This type of tissue joins bone to bone.
  2. 4. Neurotransmitter released by the descending inhibitory pathway that has an inhibitory effect on pain transmission at the dorsal horn.
  3. 6. Slow unmyelinated pain neuron that transmits burning type pain.
  4. 8. Fast myelinated pain fibre. Gives sensation of localised sharp pain.
  5. 9. A chemotactic factor released by inflamed tissue, the purpose of which is to recruit white cells to the local area.
  6. 11. This type of connective tissue connects muscle to bones.
  7. 13. Type of joint that has a synovial cavity.
  8. 15. The energy source responsible for powering the myosin heads in muscle resulting in muscle contraction.
  9. 16. This immune cell detects, engulfs (phagocytoses), and informs the adaptive immune response about an infection.
  10. 17. Best hospital pharmacist ever!
  11. 18. Neurotransmitter released from mast cells lowering pain threshold.
  12. 20. Synthetic opioid that mimics the effect of enkephalins at the Mu receptor.
  13. 21. The nervous system that innervates skeletal muscle.
Down
  1. 2. Pain pathway that transmits the pain sensation from the source to the central nervous system.
  2. 3. Pain pathway that descends to the dorsal horn area in the spinal cord to modify the afferent pain impulse
  3. 5. Cell that breaks down bone extracellular matrix increasing blood calcium levels.
  4. 6. Tissue that covers the articular (working) surfaces of synovial joints.
  5. 7. This small synovial-fluid-filled sack provides cushioning around joints and reduces friction between bone and ligaments.
  6. 9. Hormone released in response to low serum calcium levels stimulating calcium reabsorption via the kidneys and gut and release of calcium from bone.
  7. 10. Neurotransmitter that has an inhibitory action on pain transmission
  8. 12. Cell that forms bone extracellular matrix.
  9. 14. The receptor that interacts with acetylcholine resulting in muscle movement.
  10. 16. The neurotransmitter responsible for activating muscle movement.
  11. 19. Location at which the afferent pain signal crosses to the contralateral side of the spinal cord.
