Human Anatomy
Across
- 6. Rigid organs that make up the skeletal system, providing structure, protection, and support to the body.
- 7. Refers to the body’s defense system that protects against infections, diseases, and foreign invaders.
- 10. The organ that controls thoughts, memory, emotions, and bodily functions. It is the central component of the nervous system.
- 11. A hollow organ in the digestive system that breaks down food using digestive juices and enzymes.
- 13. A muscular organ that pumps blood throughout the body, supplying oxygen and nutrients to tissues and removing carbon dioxide and other wastes.
- 14. The process by which the body breaks down food into nutrients that can be absorbed and used for energy, growth, and repair.
- 15. The power derived from food and oxygen to fuel bodily functions, movement, and cellular processes.
- 19. Organs in the urinary system that filter blood, remove waste, and regulate fluid and electrolyte balance in the body.
- 20. Organs in the respiratory system responsible for taking in oxygen and releasing carbon dioxide through the process of breathing.
Down
- 1. Chemical messengers produced by glands that regulate bodily functions like growth, metabolism, and mood.
- 2. A large organ that processes nutrients from food, produces bile for digestion, and detoxifies chemicals in the blood.
- 3. A gas that the body needs to survive, essential for producing energy in cells through respiration.
- 4. Blood vessels that carry blood back to the heart after it has delivered oxygen and nutrients to tissues.
- 5. The act of taking in oxygen and expelling carbon dioxide, an essential function of the respiratory system.
- 8. Tissues that allow movement by contracting and relaxing. They are part of the muscular system.
- 9. The fluid that circulates through the body, transporting oxygen, nutrients, and waste. It’s essential for various bodily functions.
- 12. Structures where two or more bones meet, allowing movement and flexibility in the skeletal system.
- 16. The smallest structural units of life, which make up all body tissues and organs.
- 17. The body's largest organ, which acts as a protective barrier, regulates temperature, and provides sensation.
- 18. Bundles of fibers in the nervous system that transmit signals between the brain and other body parts, enabling sensation and movement.
