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