Across 3. multi-layer, tall, rectangular or column-shaped cells; taller than they are wide 6. bundles of connective tissue that connects bone to bone 7. provides smooth surfaces, enables tissues to move/slide easily over each other OR provides support & rigidity to attached structures. 8. cover body surfaces and line body’s cavities & organs 10. cells are found in 2 or more layers stacked atop each other 11. multi-layer, flat, thin, scale-like cells 12. surrounds organs and other body structures, not under conscious control 15. acts as an insulating layer, helping to reduce heat loss through the skin; supports & protects major organs; means of energy storage 16. drains interstitial fluid, transports dietary lipids, protects the body against invasion/infection 17. under conscious control; produces movement, maintains posture, stabilizes joints, generates heat 19. binds and supports body parts & organs 20. single-layer cells that have a basic cube shape 21. hormones released into interstitial tissue to be picked up by the bloodstream & carried to target (endo = into) 22. transports gases, waste products, hormones, enzymes & nutrients, maintain body temperature, controls pH, removes toxins from body 23. enables movement of structures within the body and movement of entire animal 24. connective tissues attach muscle to muscle; transmit mechanical force of muscle contraction to bone 25. specialized cells that transmit electrical nerve impulses & carry information from one part of the body to another 26. enables responses to stimuli and coordinates bodily functions

Down 1. cells are rounded and can slide across one another to allow stretching 2. forms walls of heart 4. provides support, protection, movement assistance, mineral storage, blood cell production and chemical energy storage 5. secrete onto a surface- sweat, oil, saliva, etc. (exo = out) 9. multi-layer cells that have a basic cube shape 10. cells are found in a single layer attached to the basement membrane 13. A single layer of cells that appears to be multiple layers due to variance in height and location of the nuclei in the cells 14. single-layer, flat, thin, scale-like cells 15. binds skin to the muscles beneath; provides support, strength and elasticity 17. single-layer, tall, rectangular or column-shaped cells; taller than they are wide 18. made up of connective tissue that contains most of the skin’s blood vessels & nerves
