Circulation - Respiration - Nervous System
Across
- 3. chain of beadlike supporting cells
- 6. Peripheral Nervous System
- 7. Sends commands to skeletal muscles
- 8. The largest blood vessel
- 10. Carries blood between heart and lungs
- 12. Cardiopulmonaresuscitation
- 13. Receive/detect incoming messages from other cells or the environment
- 14. Separates oxygenated blood from deoxygenated blood
- 15. Transport air to each lung
- 16. Voice Box
- 22. Disease caused by iron deficiency
- 23. Distributes a signal toward another neuron or effector
- 24. Carries blood between heart and rest of body
- 28. Sensory neurons carrying impulses from sense organs to CNS
- 30. relays signals to another neuron or effector
Down
- 1. Contracts and relaxes to suck in air and to let it out
- 2. Bonds better with hemoglobin than oxygen
- 4. Nucleus and other organelles
- 5. Smaller branches in each lung that transport air
- 9. Communication passageways created from bundles of neuron fibers
- 10. The only artery in the body that transports deoxygenated blood
- 11. Clusters of air sacs in the lungs
- 17. Prevent back-flow of blood
- 18. Location where digestive and respiratory systems meet
- 19. Lower heart chambers that pump oxygenated blood to certain body organs and tissues
- 20. disease that causes alveoli to disintegrate
- 21. The only vein in the body that carries oxygenated blood
- 25. Windpipe
- 26. Orderly contractions and relaxations of the heart
- 27. Diffuse nutrients and oxygen into tissue
- 29. Nerve cell specialized for carrying signals throughout body parts
