Across
  1. 2. When all the organ systems squad up to make—you guessed it—YOU.
  2. 4. A squad of cells that all got the same job assignment.
  3. 7. When tissues team up like the Avengers to form one body part.
  4. 8. The original MVP of life—the cell, that tiny creature running the ultimate hustle inside you.
  5. 10. Your body’s way of being the ultimate thermostat—keeping things just right, no matter what’s going on outside.
  6. 12. The muscles you can actually boss around—unlike your little brother.
  7. 13. When your body reacts in a way that’s like clapping along and saying, “Oh yeah, let’s KEEP this party going!”
  8. 14. The “chill out, dude” system—keeps your body balanced and not going full chaos mode.
Down
  1. 1. Collections of organs working together like an ultimate group project (but without that one kid who never does any work).
  2. 3. The soft, squishy bone innards where your blood is made—like a bone factory with no coffee breaks.
  3. 5. Like bone hotel with lots of air-conditioning.
  4. 6. Rope-like stuff that ties your bones together—your skeleton’s shoelaces.
  5. 8. Smooth stuff at the end of bones—nature’s joint padding so you don’t squeak like an old rocking chair.
  6. 9. The tough outer crust of your bones—basically the bone’s “armor plating.”
  7. 11. Muscles that do their thing whether you approve or not—your heart didn’t ask your opinion.
