What are amphiarthroses?

100

I'm the trash man of the cell. I clean up all of the cell debris and garbage left behind. Without me, you've got gaucher disease!

What are lysosomes?

100
This tissue gives rise to all connective tissues, and it is only found in embryos. 

What is Mesenchyme Connective Tissue?

100

This type of tissue that makes up the reticular layer of our skin. 

What is dense irregular connective tissue?

100

This is the outside covering of the diaphysis, fibrous connective tissue membrane.

What is periosteum? 

200

These are amphiarthrotic joints in which the bones are united by a ligament or a sheet of fibrous tissue. For example, between the radius and the ulna.

What are syndesmoses?

200

They call me the "bone breaker," meaning that I clear out old bone to make way for the new. 

What are osteoclasts?

200

This tissue is responsible for propelling objects (foodstuffs, urine, a baby) down a passageway. It is found in the walls of hallow internal organs. 

What is smooth muscle tissue?

200

These are exocrine glands whose secretions are made up of disintegrated cells; eventually "pop" like sebaceous glands.

What are holocrine glands?

200

This is the type of bone fracture in which the bone moves so that the two broken ends are not lined up straight. 

What is a displaced fracture?

300

400

This type of tissue cell is responsible for the secretion of mucus, and comes in both ciliated and nonciliated forms. 

What is columnar cell shape?

400

This is the first layer of the epidermis that contains living keratinocytes. 

What is stratum granulosum?

400

These are the small cavities in the bone that house osteocytes.

What are lucunae?

500

This type of fracture is the result of poor cartilage quality and dying chondrocytes; separation of the top of the long bone from the shaft of the long bone. 

Epiphyseal fracture. 

500

We're 3 fraternal triplets; we're all a part of the cytoskeleton, but we all look different and have different functions. What are our names (thiqqest and thinnest)?

What are microtubules, intermediate filaments, and microfilaments. 

500

This disease results from the defective movement of the cilia found in the epithelium of the respiratory tract, thus leading to recurrent bronchitis and even infertility.

This is the skin condition that is due to capillary dilation.
