General Biology
Across
- 2. The colorless fluid , forms when plasma seeps out of the blood vessels and into the interstitial fluid
- 5. It covers the glottis so that food enters the esophagus, not the lungs
- 8. They are white blood cells that participate in the inflammation
- 9. A tube that connects the bladder with the outside of the body
- 13. A muscular bag that receives food from the esophagus
- 19. A two-opening digestive tract
- 20. A plug of solidified blood
- 21. An eating disorder which a person eats large quantities and then intentionally vomits or uses laxatives shortly afterward
- 23. The hormone that stimulates the production of sodium channels in the nephron
- 24. teaches the immune system to recognize specific components of pathogen without actually causing illness
- 26. They control the concentration of ions in their body fluids as the environment changes
- 27. A heart chamber that pumps blood out of the heart
- 28. It is a specialized cardiac cells that sets the tempo of the heartbeat
- 29. They are antimicrobial molecules that communicate with immune system cells and stimulate the development of a fever
- 30. This houses the nerve endings, sweat, and oil glands and the blood vessels
Down
- 1. A large containing masses of lymphocytes and macrophages that destroy pathogens in the blood
- 3. The cells that engulfs and digests foreign material and cell debris
- 4. Blood from the right side of the heart exchanges gases at the lungs and return it to the heart
- 6. A mixture of water, mucus, salts hydrochloric acids and enzymes produced by the stomach lining
- 7. A small immune organ in the chest
- 10. It delivers blood to the kidneys
- 11. The lines the inside of the heart and all of the body’s vessels
- 12. A network of tiny blood vessels that connect an arteriole and a venule.
- 14. They are muscular rings that can contract to block the passage of materials
- 15. It is the widening of blood vessels that occurs when the same muscles relax
- 16. It is an accessory organ that stores bile until the chyme triggers its release into the small intestine
- 17. a biochemical that dilates blood vessels and increases the permeability
- 18. They eat decomposing organic matter
- 22. The body’s tiniest blood vessels
- 25. are large vessels that conduct blood away from the heart
