Across
  1. 2. Small veins that do not have three tunics, but instead have only an endothelium, a basement membrane, and a few smooth muscle cells
  2. 6. The process by which the formed elements of blood are made in the body
  3. 10. A small protein, synthesized by the liver
  4. 11. Cell fragments in blood that help prevent blood loss
  5. 14. Passage of white blood cells through pores in blood vessels to get into the tissue spaces
  6. 15. Carries "blue" blood out of the right ventricle toward the lungs
  7. 16. Made of three sheets of thin connective tissue, ensures one way blood flow
  8. 20. Microscopic, thin-walled blood vessels that allow the exchange of gases and nutrients between the blood and body cells
  9. 25. Rhesus Monkey
  10. 26. Brings "blue" blood from the upper body tissues to the right atrium
  11. 29. Circulation of the blood around the alveoli (air sacs) of the lints
  12. 31. The phase of the cardiac cycle in which the ventricles relax
  13. 32. The smallest arteries that still have three tunics
  14. 33. The phase of the cardiac cycle in which the ventricles contract
  15. 34. Attraction of cells to chemical stimuli
Down
  1. 1. The resistance to flow and alteration of shape due to cohesion
  2. 3. Red blood cells that carry the oxygen in blood
  3. 4. Literally, cell-eating. The process by which a cell engulfs and ingests a foreign or dead cell or cell part
  4. 5. The fluid portion of the blood, which is mostly water, about 55% by volume
  5. 7. Blood vessels that carry blood back to the heart
  6. 8. Test to determine how much hemoglobin is in the RBCs
  7. 9. The process by which the body stops blood loss
  8. 12. A protein or other molecule that, when introduced into the body, triggers the production of an antibody
  9. 13. Type O blood
  10. 17. Circulation of the blood through the other tissues of the body
  11. 18. White blood cells that perform defensive functions in blood
  12. 19. Proteins in blood plasma that help initiate the blood coagulation process
  13. 21. Blood vessels that carry blood away from the heart
  14. 22. The red blood cells, white blood cells, and cell fragments called fragments called platelets, about 45%by volume
  15. 23. conduct action potentials from one cell to another, connect cells of cardiac muscle tissue
  16. 24. Tests the percentage of RBCs in the blood
  17. 27. One complete round of diastole and systole
  18. 28. transport medium, regulatory tissue, protective tissue
  19. 30. A mixture of dead or dying white blood cells, foreign cells such as bacteria, and fluid
