Anatomy and Physiology Systems
Across
- 3. A neuron that carries impulses away from the cell body
- 4. Mineral essential for bone strength
- 7. Chemical messenger in the body
- 9. Flexible connective tissue at joints
- 14. Chemical messengers released by neurons to transmit signals
- 16. Bony structure protecting the brain
- 18. Insulating substance that surrounds and protects axons facilitating faster signal transmission
- 19. Recycles red blood cells filters blood and immune responses
- 20. Branch like structures on a neuron that recieve signals from other neurons
Down
- 1. Produces T cells during early life
- 2. Stable internal environment regulated by hormones
- 5. Gland producing adrenaline and cortisol
- 6. Longest bone in the body
- 8. Organ producing insulin and glucagon
- 10. Drains lymph into bloodstream
- 11. Lymphatic tissue in the throat that traps pathogens
- 12. Master gland that regulates other glands
- 13. Connects bone to bone
- 15. A small gap between neurons where chemical signals are transmitted
- 17. Fluid that circulates in lymphatic vessels
