- 14. breathing movements
Down
- 1. wetting agent produced in alveoli to help keep them open
- 2. respiratory organs in many aquatic animals (e.g. fish)
- 5. tiny air sacs in lungs where gas exchange occurs
- 6. sticky substance secreted by glands in airway to trap foreign material
- 7. respiratory openings along the thorax and abdomen of insects (e.g. grasshoppers)
