Across 2. cells are found in 2 or more layers stacked atop each other 4. provides smooth surfaces, enables tissues to move/slide easily over each other OR provides support & rigidity to attached structures. 6. made up of connective tissue that contains most of the skin’s blood vessels & nerves 8. acts as an insulating layer, helping to reduce heat loss through the skin; supports & protects major organs; means of energy storage 15. specialized cells that transmit electrical nerve impulses & carry information from one part of the body to another 17. forms walls of heart 19. enables movement of structures within the body and movement of entire animal 20. binds and supports body parts & organs 21. binds skin to the muscles beneath; provides support, strength and elasticity 22. flat, thin, scale-like cells 23. secrete onto a surface- sweat, oil, saliva, etc. 24. cells are found in a single layer attached to the basement membrane 25. bundles of connective tissue that connects bone to bone

Down 1. cells are rounded and can slide across one another to allow stretching 2. under conscious control; produces movement, maintains posture, stabilizes joints, generates heat 3. tall, rectangular or column-shaped cells; taller than they are wide 5. a single layer of cells that appears to be multiple layers due to variance in height and location of the nuclei in the cells 7. connective tissues attach muscle to muscle; transmit mechanical force of muscle contraction to bone 9. cover body surfaces and line body’s cavities & organs 10. drains interstitial fluid, transports dietary lipids, protects the body against invasion/infection 11. enables responses to stimuli and coordinates bodily functions 12. surrounds organs and other body structures, not under conscious control 13. transports gases, waste products, hormones, enzymes & nutrients, maintain body temperature, controls pH, removes toxins from body 14. hormones released into interstitial tissue to be picked up by the bloodstream & carried to target 16. provides support, protection, movement assistance, mineral storage, blood cell production and chemical energy storage 18. cells that have a basic cube shape
