Question
Answer
adipocytes   the cells that primarily compose adipose tissue (connective tissue that insulates the body), specializing in storing energy as fat.  
🗑
archenteron   The endoderm-lined cavity, formed during gastrulation, that develops into the digestive tract of animals  
🗑
axon   A typically long extention, or process, of a neuron that carries nerve impulses away from the cell body toward target cells.  
🗑
basal lamina   A layer of extracellular matrix found on the basal surface of epithelial cells, and which is secreted by the epithelial cells. The basal lamina is composed of lamina densa and lamina lucida, and is only visable under electron microsope.  
🗑
basement membrane   extracellular matrix characteristically found under epithelial cells. Composed of basal lamina and reticular lamina.  
🗑
blastocoel   The fluid-filled cavity that forms in the centre of a blastula  
🗑
blastula   A hollow ball of cells that marks the end of the cleavage stage during early embryonic development in animals.

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
