Down
- 1. Blood flowing from the severed vessel transforms from a liquid to a semi-solid gel to seal the wound and prevent further loss of blood/blood-pressure
- 2. Cellular fragments that circulate in the blood and release clotting factors when there is a cut

- 10. When an antigen is sensed these products of lymphocytes attack and kill the foreign pathogen
- 11. Glands that secrete the chemical sebum
- 17. They cannot be treated using antibiotics because they lack a metabolism
- 18. A biological agent that causes disease or illness to its host
- 21. An antibacterial enzyme in mucus that give it antiseptic properties
