- 1. Which component of blood is responsible for transporting gases, nutrients, hormones, and wastes?
- 2. This is the specialized cardiac muscle tissue responsible for transmitting electrical signals throughout the heart.
- 4. The process by which the heart muscle cells become electrically charged and prepare for contraction.
- 6. The term for the negative internal charge of a cell when it is at rest.
- 8. What is the term for the small gap between two neurons where neurotransmitters are released to facilitate communication?

- 14. What is the main pigment in red blood cells that binds oxygen?
- 18. This type of potential occurs when a neuron fires and rapidly changes its membrane potential.
