  1. 3. MOVEMENTS What is the term referring to expansion that increases the diameter and length of the bronchi and bronchioles, and expands the alveolar ducts?
  2. 5. What is the tube through which urine exits the body, with structural and functional differences between males and females?
  3. 10. What organ develops from the foregut and is responsible for producing enzymes that aid in digestion and hormones that regulate blood sugar levels?
  4. 12. What are the intralobular airways less than 1 mm in diameter, lack glands and cartilage but have dense connective tissue associated with their smooth muscle?
  5. 14. SUPPLY What are the main arterial sources of blood supply to the foregut, midgut, and hindgut, respectively?
  6. 18. What is a 10-12 cm long in adults, lined with respiratory mucosa containing numerous seromucous glands?
  7. 19. What organ develops from mesenchymal cells between the folds of the dorsal mesogastrium and is involved in blood filtration and immune response?
  8. 20. BUD What is the early developmental structure that buds off from the ventral wall of the esophagus and eventually develops into the respiratory system?
  9. 22. MEMBRANES What is the lung's outer surface and the thoracic cavity's inner wall are covered by the pleura, a serous membrane?
  10. 24. CORTEX What is the outer layer containing nephrons' corpuscles and tubules, responsible for filtering blood and initiating urine formation?
  11. 25. What are the smooth muscle layers that contract rhythmically (peristalsis) to propel urine toward the bladder?
  12. 27. ABNORMALITIES What is the term refers to abnormalities in development of the foregut can include stenosis and atresia at various points along its length, and hypertrophy of the pylorus of the stomach?
  13. 29. What is the inner lining, composed of transitional epithelium, stretches to accommodate urine flow and resists damage from its hypertonic nature?
Down
  1. 1. PROPRIA What is the connective tissue that supports the urothelium?
  2. 2. What are the muscular tubes that transport urine from the renal pelvis of each kidney to the bladder?
  3. 4. SINUSES What is the mucosa of the nasal cavities and nasopharynx also contains a rich vasculature and many seromucous glands, which help warm, humidify, and clean inspired air?
  4. 6. What are the small sac-like structures, extending from the respiratory bronchioles, alveolar ducts, and sacs, contributing to the lungs' spongy texture?
  5. 7. MEDULLA What are the tips of these pyramids, called renal papillae, project into minor calyces, which collect urine from each renal lobe?
  6. 8. EPITHELIUM What the term refers to includes goblet cells secreting mucus, ciliated columnar cells sweeping the mucus along the surface, chemosensory brush cells, scattered endocrine cells, and basal stem cells.
  7. 9. ABNORMALITIES What the term refers to is a remnant of the vitelline duct that connected the yolk sac to the midgut may persist as an ileal diverticulum or as a vitelline cyst in the distal ileum.
  8. 11. DUCT What is the respiratory bronchioles branch into alveolar ducts, lined entirely by alveolar openings?
  9. 13. What is a hollow, muscular organ located in the pelvis that temporarily stores urine until excretion?
  10. 14. What is the primary bronchi branch repeatedly, becoming smaller until reaching a diameter of 1-2 mm?
  11. 15. What is the gut form as a covering of mesenchyme passing over the gut tube from the posterior body wall of the embryo when the tube is in close contact with it?
  12. 16. What organ stores bile produced by the liver and releases it into the small intestine to aid in digestion?
  13. 17. CORPUSCLES What is the site where blood is filtered to initiate urine formation?
  14. 21. ABNORMALITIES What is the term used to describe developmental abnormalities that occur in the hindgut, leading to conditions like rectal atresia and fistulas?
  15. 23. What vital organ processes nutrients, stores energy, produces bile, and filters toxins from the blood?
  16. 26. What is a short passage connecting the pharynx and trachea, is supported by a rigid framework of cartilage.
  17. 28. What are bean-shaped organs approximately 12 cm long, 6 cm wide, and 2.5 cm thick?
