Lymphatic System
Across
- 2. Type — Classification of blood based on antigens present (A, B, AB, or O)
- 4. — Fluid that circulates through the lymphatic system and carries white blood cells
- 5. Donor — O- blood type that can be given to anyone
- 7. Tissue — Tissue containing lymphocytes and immune cells
- 9. Gland — Gland in the chest that produces and matures T cells (especially in children)
- 10. — Protein in blood plasma that attacks and neutralizes foreign antigens
- 11. Factor — Protein that determines if blood is positive (+) or negative (-)
- 12. — Organ that filters blood, produces lymphocytes, and stores blood cells
- 14. System — Body's defense system that fights pathogens and disease
- 15. Nodes — Small organs that filter lymph and trap pathogens and dead cells
- 17. Recipient — AB+ blood type that can receive any blood type
- 18. Duct — Largest lymphatic vessel that drains lymph from the lower body and left side
Down
- 1. — Transfer of blood from one person to another
- 3. — White blood cells that fight infection (includes B cells and T cells)
- 6. — Harmful microorganism (bacteria, virus, etc.) that causes disease
- 7. Capillaries — Tiny vessels that collect tissue fluid and begin the lymphatic system
- 8. — Destruction of red blood cells (occurs with incompatible blood transfusions)
- 10. — Protein on the surface of cells that triggers an immune response
- 13. System — Network of vessels and organs that filters fluid and fights infection
