The Respiratory System
Across
- 1. production and release from a cell or a gland of a physiologically active substance
- 4. gas exchange between blood and tissues
- 5. cannot be measured by spirometry and amounts to about 1200mL in males and 1100mL in females
- 6. a rounded mass of nerves or bloood vessels, especially the microscopic tuft of capillaries that is surrounded by the glomerular capsule
- 7. solution that causes cells to shrink due to loss of water by osmosis
- 8. solution that causes cells to swell and perhaps rupture due to gain of water by osmosis
- 9. the flow of a liquid through a filter due to a hydrostatic pressure
- 11. the functional unit of the kidney
Down
- 2. gas exchange between alveoli and blood
