Across
  1. 7. A molecule that triggers an immune response
  2. 8. Thrombin converts this into fibrin
  3. 11. True or false: Most sore throats are viral and so antibiotics are useless
  4. 13. The ‘C’ in PCT
  5. 16. Literally ‘foot cells’, these cells form part of the barrier between the glomerulus and Bowman’s capsule
  6. 18. Glucose is reabsorbed in the PCT along with sodium by this mechanism
  7. 19. These proteins consist of heavy chains and light chains
  8. 20. The biological term for ‘clotting’
  9. 22. B cells differentiate into these effector cells
  10. 24. Cells whose job it is to engulf other cells and debris
  11. 25. The pathological process underlying heart attacks and strokes
  12. 26. The arteriole that carries blood away from the glomerulus
  13. 28. Water moves out by osmosis in this limb of the loop of Henle
  14. 29. The capillary part of the renal corpuscle
  15. 30. This is pumped out of the ascending limb of the loop of Henle
  16. 32. The form of nitrogenous waste mammals produce
  17. 35. A cell produced by fusing a myeloma cell and a B cell
  18. 37. These lymphocytes produce antibodies
  19. 38. A disease that crosses a species barrier
  20. 40. The structural and functional unit of the kidney, composed of the renal corpuscle and renal tubule
Down
  1. 1. He developed a vaccine for smallpox
  2. 2. Artificial filtration of the blood
  3. 3. Approximately this percent of fluid reaching the kidneyes is filtered into the renal tubules
  4. 4. Identical antibodies produced by hybridoma cells, and which recognize a specific antigen
  5. 5. The process by which antibodies clump pathogens together
  6. 6. In addition to blood cells, these are also not filtered in the renal corpuscle
  7. 9. Acid that birds use to excrete nitrogen
  8. 10. The study of patterns of disease
  9. 12. These phagocytic cells present antigens on their surface to helper T cells
  10. 14. The process by which antibodies mark pathogens for destruction
  11. 15. When a person is in this state, their posterior pituitary would respond by secreting ADH
  12. 17. Excretory tubules in insects
  13. 21. An organism whose internal solute concentrations match its environment
  14. 23. A common cause of renal failure
  15. 27. A ‘chain-reaction’-type sequence of events, like clotting, where one reaction triggers the next one
  16. 31. These tubes carry urine from the kidneys to the bladder
  17. 33. The hormone that makes the collecting duct more permeable to water
  18. 34. Something that causes disease
  19. 36. Chain’s partner in developing penicillin as an antibiotic
  20. 37. Besides mast cells, the other cells that secrete histamine
  21. 39. This part of the kidney has a high interstitial osmolarity which increases with depth
  22. 41. HIV infects these cells
