3. Oxygen-carrying protein whose reduced concentration explains fatigue and dyspnoea in anaemia.
4. Hormone whose deficiency contributes to reduced basal metabolic rate in hypothyroidism.
5. Process that can increase bilirubin production beyond the liver's capacity to conjugate it.
7. Intracellular protein released into blood following myocardial cell injury.
10. Reduced blood flow to tissue that initiates the pathophysiological cascade in myocardial infarction.
11. Protective physiological response that underlies many clinical manifestations of meningitis.
12. Irreversible cellular injury occurring when prolonged ischemia deprives tissue of oxygen and nutrients.
13. Pigment that accumulates in plasma and tissues, producing the characteristic yellow discoloration of jaundice.
16. Membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord that become inflamed in meningitis.
17. Physiological process that may be impaired when pulmonary tuberculosis damages lung tissue.
18. Hormone released primarily by the kidneys in response to reduced oxygen delivery.

1. Elevated plasma glucose concentration resulting from impaired glucose regulation.
2. Fluid whose composition and pressure may be altered during meningitis.
3. Reduced tissue oxygen availability that triggers many compensatory responses in anaemic patients.
5. Reduced arterial oxygen tension that may occur in extensive pulmonary disease.
6. Alveolar substance that reduces surface tension and may be affected when pulmonary function is compromised.
8. Mechanism responsible for polyuria when filtered glucose exceeds renal reabsorptive capacity.
9. Physiological manifestation often observed when thyroid hormone levels are markedly reduced.
14. Hepatic mechanism that makes bilirubin water-soluble for excretion into bile.
15. Hormone whose deficiency or ineffective action leads to hyperglycaemia in diabetes mellitus.
