Across
  1. 2. The expanding and contracting opening in the iris of the eye,
  2. 4. One of certain small protuberances concerned with the senses of touch
  3. 8. nerve A cranial nerve, consisting of sensory fibers that conduct impulses from the retina to the brain.
  4. 9. Three bones in either middle ear that are among the smallest bones in the human body. They serve to transmit sounds from the air to the cochlea.
  5. 11. To put the hand, finger, etc., on or into contact with (something) to feel it
  6. 12. The part of the face or facial region in humans and certain animals thatcontains the nostrils and the organs of smell and functions as the usualpassageway for air in respiration: in humans it is a prominence in thecenter of the face formed of bone and cartilage, serving also to modifyor modulate the voice.
  7. 14. in which the vibrations resonate against the tympanic membrane,and a fluidfilled internal ear that maintains balance and that conductsthe tympanic vibrations to the auditory nerve, which transmits them asimpulses to the brain.
  8. 16. It is your ability to see
  9. 17. buds One of numerous small, flask-shaped bodies, chiefly in the epithelium of the tongue, which are the end organs for the sense of taste.
  10. 18. which light passes to the retina.
  11. 20. The organ of hearing and equilibrium in vertebrates, in humans consisting of an external ear that gathers sound vibrations, a
  12. 22. The dense inner layer of skin beneath theepidermis, composed of connective tissue, blood and lymph vessels, sweat glands, hair follicles, and an elaborate sensory nerve network.
  13. 23. It is the organ of vision
Down
  1. 1. Tiny hairlike projections from cells, which make lashing movements and help to propel a cell through its medium.
  2. 3. nerve Either one of the first pair of cranial nerves, consisting of sensory fibersthat conduct to the brain the impulses from the mucous membranes ofthe nose.
  3. 5. The contractile, circular diaphragm forming the colored portion of the eye and containing a circular opening, the pupil, in its center.
  4. 6. Either of the two external openings of the nose
  5. 7. It is the auditory portion of the inner ear. It is a spiral-shaped cavity receives sound in the form of vibrations. Then convert these vibrations into nerve impulses which are taken up to the brain to be interpreted.
  6. 10. A doubly convex, transparent body in the eye, situated behind the iris,that focuses incident light on the retina.
  7. 13. To perceive the odor or scent of through the nose by means of theolfactory nerves; inhale the odor
  8. 15. A membrane in the ear canal between the external ear and the middle ear
  9. 18. The usually movable organ in the floor of the mouth inhumans and most vertebrates, functioning in eating, in tasting, and, in humans, in speaking.
  10. 19. The faculty or sense by which sound is perceived.
  11. 21. The posterior part of the eyeball that receives theimage produced by the lens, is continuous with the optic nerve, andconsists of several layers, one of which contains the rods and conesthat are sensitive to light.
