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