Across
  1. 2. cell death by external process like injury or inflammation, etc
  2. 3. cell destroys itself or its contents with the help of lysosomes
  3. 6. where the effect enhances the cause, often may be detrimental
  4. 11. movement of solvent molecules down the gradient across a semipermeable membrane
  5. 13. Maintenance of constant internal environment
  6. 14. most commonly occurring mechanism in biological systems to maintain stability or constancy
  7. 15. ungated channels which allow movement of molecules or ions as long as favourable gradient exists
  8. 18. substance used to measure extracellular fluid volume
  9. 19. coined the term "milieu interieur" to denote the internal environment
  10. 21. fluid that fills specialized spaces such as meninges, pleural space and joint spaces
Down
  1. 1. dye used to measure plasma volume
  2. 2. controls cell volume, and is responsible for nearly 2/3 of resting energy consumption
  3. 4. Macromolecules are captured in vesicles on one side of the cell, drawn across the cell, and ejected on the other side
  4. 5. movement of substances without expenditure of energy
  5. 7. fluid that fills spaces in between the cells
  6. 8. gave name to the process of maintaining stable internal environment
  7. 9. cell death by a tightly regulated cell's own genetic program
  8. 10. channels which open and close in response to changes in electrical potential
  9. 12. this transport uses ATP to move substances against the gradient
  10. 16. this transport uses energy from the gradient of one substance to move another substance
  11. 17. channels which open in response to binding of chemical molecules
  12. 20. triskelion shaped protein plays a key role in formation of coated vesicles
