Across
  1. 5. this is a flexible tube that sits in front of the esophagus, it is made up of hyaline cartilage rings that open in the back
  2. 8. this nerve is responsible for the parasympathetic control of the heart and the digestive tract
  3. 9. the right lung has three of these whereas the left lung only has two
  4. 10. this type of tissue includes blood, bone, and cartilage, and is strong, dense, and elastic
  5. 15. two types of this lining are found in our lungs, one that primarily makes up the walls and another that secretes surfactant
  6. 16. this muscle spans the gap that is created by the opening of the tracheal rings, and it can relax in order to let more air in
  7. 17. these kinds of levator costarum muscles begin on the transverse processes of T7-T11, they insert into the rib below the point of origin
  8. 18. you have 5 of these vertebrae, which have a large corpus and provide support for the abdominal muscles
Down
  1. 1. these types of vertebrae are found at the uppermost part of the vertebral column; two of them are called the atlas and the axis due to their role in supporting the skull
  2. 2. these are responsible for connecting bone to bone, bone to cartilage, or cartilage to cartilage, and can be categorized by the degree of movement they permit
  3. 3. this ‘girdle’ forms the skeletal support for the lower extremities and is made up of the ilium, sacrum, public bone, and ischium
  4. 4. a cycle made up of the two processes of inhalation and exhalation, the exchange of gas between an organism and its environment
  5. 6. this tube leads to the digestive system and opens for a bolus
  6. 7. this lining covers the lungs, and there is both visceral and parietal kinds
  7. 11. these intercostals are the second most important muscle for respiration, they course downward and inward
  8. 12. this kind of muscle is involved in involuntary/nonvolitional muscle movements, meaning that it is not consciously controlled by the individual
  9. 13. this bone can be further divided into three components, the manubrium, the corpus/body, and the xiphoid process
  10. 14. these bones can be divided into 3 classes which are true, false, and floating
  11. 15. this area of study looks at the structure of organisms and the relations of their parts
  12. 19. this pressure is the force exerted on walls of a chamber by molecules of air
