Across
- 1. Large, thick-walled muscular vessels that carry oxygenated blood away from the heart
- 5. Liquid composed of wastes that is filtered from the blood by the kidneys, stored in the urinary bladder and eliminated through the urethra
- 7. Foreign substances that stimulates an immune response in the body
- 9. Iron-containing protein molecule in red blood cells that bind to oxygen and carries it from the lungs to the bodys cells
- 12. Two lower chambers of the heart
- 14. Small cell fragments in the blood that help blood clot after an injury
- 15. Fluid portion of the blood. 55%
- 16. Sacs in the lungs where oxygen diffuses into the blood and carbon dioxide diffuses into the air
- 17. A membranous sac in many vertebrates that serves for the temporary retention of urine and discharges by the urethra

Down
- 1. One of the two sections of the heart that take in blood from the veins
- 2. Recognizes diseases
- 3. Microscopic blood vessels with walls only one cell thick
- 4. Large blood vessels that carry from the tissues back toward the heart
- 6. Force that blood exerts on blood vessels; rises and falls as the heart contracts and relaxes
- 8. Tube through which urine is passed from the urinary bladder to the outside of the body
- 10. Tubelike passageway for air flow that connects with two bronchi tubes that lead into the lungs
- 11. Tube that transports urine from each kidney to the urinary bladder
- 13. Any of the large veins by which in air-breathing vertebrates the blood is returned to the right atrium of the heart
- 18. Carries oxygen to all of the body's cells.
- 19. Protein in the blood. Plasma produced in reaction to antigens that react with and disable antigens
