Across
- 3. These organs have a very distinct shape and even have a type of bean named after them.
- 6. this hormone activates our "fight-or-flight" mechanism and often makes us feel a rush
- 9. these chemical regulators target only specific parts of the body like an arrow fired from bow,the bow being the gland that secreted them
- 11. these chemicals are like radio waves and anyone with the right equipment such as a radio(receptor) can tune-in and use them
- 13. In this type of diffusion, water molecules move to across a membrane to balance solute concentrations on both sides like gym teachers sending kids to seperate sides of the gym to balance teams for a dodgeball game
- 14. this machine acts as an artificial kidney for those whose kidneys no longer function
- 15. If the human body was a computer, this gland would be the motherboard
- 16. this system performs for our bodies can be compared to the function of a plumbing system
Down
- 1. this mechanism is similar to the grandfather paradox in time-travel. In this mechanism the product of a reaction causes a decrease in the reaction
- 2. these ions act like sponges and soak up the excess H+ ions and keep our pH levels stable
- 4. If the human body was a house, then this process would be like adjusting the thermostat to keep the house warm in the winter and cool in the summer
- 5. Without iodine, this gland cannot function and causes our throats to swell up like an inflated balloon
- 7. imagine the human body as a mall or shopping complex in this type of diabetes, the pancreas is like a store and the one of its products(insulin) is out of stock
- 8. imagine your body as a house and the excretory system as a faucet. In this type of diabetes, the faucet is running and you (ADH) are not home to turn it off so lots of water is being excreted and wasted
- 10. These chemical regulators are like orders from a general and travel to receptors/cells, which are like soldiers waiting for orders
- 12. your doctor might ask you for a sample of this when you go for a check up
