Across
- 1. I help in hearing and balance. I have three parts - external, middle and inner.
- 3. I helps you to chew your food. I am also used in the act of swallowing and I am a primary organ for taste.
- 5. I am the hardest part of your body. I support the structures of the face and provides a protective cavity for the brain.
- 8. I make bile to help your stomach breakdown food. I also make antibodies to help you fight disease.
- 9. We take oxygen that your body needs from the air and also take carbon dioxide that is in your blood and send it out of your body.
- 10. I control your muscles and all of the organs in your body. I even hold all of your thoughts and memories.
- 12. I am a muscle located behind your lungs. I pump blood to all parts of your body.
- 13. I absorb the nutrients that your body needs from your food and I put it in your bloodstream so your body can use it.
- 15. I am a tube in your throat. When you swallow, food or drink travels down through me into your stomach.
- 17. We work in pairs to pull your bones in different directions. We also help move food and blood through your body. Without us, you'd wouldn't be able to move at all.
- 18. I am sometimes called your “windpipe.” When you breathe, air travels through me to your lungs.
Down
- 1. We provide with vision, the ability to receive and process visual details.
- 2. We give your body support and structure, protect delicate organs and filled with a substance called marrow.
- 4. I am the first digit of your hand. Without me, it’s difficult to hold things.
- 6. We are a pair of filters that clean your blood. We take liquid waste from your bloodstream and we send it down to your bladder.
- 7. We are blood vessels that send blood back towards your heart. Most of the blood we carry doesn't have much oxygen left in it.
- 8. Your body can't use every part of the food you eat. The waste comes to me, and I dry it out so it can leave your body.
- 11. I have pores so sweat can escape your body. I also sense temperature and feel the things around you.
- 14. When you eat, I mix your food with chemicals made by your body, then I churn up your food into smaller parts.
- 16. We are blood vessels that send blood away from your heart to all different parts of your body. We have thicker, stronger walls than veins.
