Circulation, Blood and Gas Exchange
Across
- 3. small vessels that receive blood from the arteries
- 5. two lower chambers of the heart
- 9. soluble protein in plasma that produces fibrin
- 10. rhythmic bulging of artery walls with each heartbeat
- 12. large phagocytic WBC with a simple oval nucleus
- 15. WBC stained by basic dyes
- 16. carries oxygenated blood from the left ventricle to the rest of the body
- 18. crossover of heat between two flowing bodies in opposite directions to each other
- 21. blood vessels that carry blood away from the heart
- 23. rhythmic contraction and relaxation of the heart muscles
- 25. WBC that does not contain granules
- 26. blood clot formed in situ
- 27. two seperate circuits and blood passes through the heart twice
- 29. blood vessels that carry blood back to the heart
- 31. WBC stained by eosin
- 32. contraction or pumping phase
- 33. small vesselsthat gather blood from the capillaries into the veins
Down
- 1. WBC that counteracts foreign substances and disease
- 2. tube from larynx to the bronchial tubes conveying air to and from the lungs
- 4. surface covered in moist epithelial cells that allow oxygen and carbon dioxide to exchange
- 6. insolunle protein that impedes flow of blood to clot it
- 7. pacemaker of heart in right atrium
- 8. carries deoxygenated blood away from the right atrium and returns oxygenated blood to the left atrium
- 11. small leukocyte with a single round nucleus
- 13. respiratory organ of fishes and some amphibians where oxygen is extracted from water flowing over the walls of the pharynx
- 14. WBC stained by neutral dyes
- 17. RBC that contains hemoglobin
- 19. two upper chambers of the heart
- 20. tiny blood vessel where substances are exchanged between the blood and body cells
- 22. fibers in the ventricles that transmit impulses to the right and left ventricles causing them to contract
- 24. tiny airsacs of lungs that allow for rapid gas exchange
- 28. controls passage of the hearts electrical signal from the atria to the ventricles
- 30. relaxation or filling phase
