Across
  1. 3. Breaks down food by churning with enzymes
  2. 14. Passes air to the lungs

  4. 18. See-through eyelid that protects and moistens the eye
  5. 20. Nostrils; used for both smelling and breathing
  6. 22. Thin and moist; amphibians breathe through their skin
  7. 23. Passes whole prey to the stomach
  8. 25. Filter blood to remove waste, producing urine
  9. 26. Creates digestive enzymes, such as bile which breaks down fatty foods
  10. 27. Receives oxygenated blood from the lungs and pumps it to the ventricle

Down
  1. 1. Eardrums that pass sound to the inner ear
  2. 2. Pair of teeth on the roof of the mouth
  3. 4. Stores urine until it is time to pee
  4. 5. Energy reserves to survive during hibernation
  5. 6. Coat eggs in a protective gel, preventing the eggs from drying out and helping them to float

  7. 8. Help males grip the females tightly during amplexus
  8. 9. Stores extra bile
  9. 10. Produce sperm
  10. 11. Site of respiration in addition to the skin, adding oxygen to the blood and removing carbon dioxide
  11. 12. Captures prey
  12. 13. Common exit for the digestive, excretory, and reproductive systems
  13. 15. Absorbs water from waste
  14. 16. Receives deoxygenated blood from the body and pumps it to the ventricle
  15. 19. Equalize pressure in the inner ear while a frog swims
  16. 21. Produces digestive enzymes and hormones
  17. 24. Carry urine from the kidneys to the urinary bladder
  18. 30. A muscle that pumps blood through the blood vessels
  19. 32. Recycles dead red blood cells
