Clues

  • A form of diffusion that requires carrier proteins for transfer of substances across cell membranes (11, 9)
  • Exchange of gases in the tissues (8, 11)
  • Fluid situated between body cells, also known as tissue fluid (12, 5)
  • Radiation that generates ions when it passes through atoms; can damage cells by changing the atoms in the molecules that make up living tissue (8, 9)
  • Small cell fragments involved in blood clotting (8, 11)
  • The amount of air reaching the alveoli with each breath (8, 11)
  • The blood supply to all body organs except for the pulmonary arteries and veins (8, 11)
  • The defence mechanisms of the body that are effective against different types of threat (3, 8, 7)
  • The pressure exerted by a fluid on the walls of its container (11, 8)
  • Used to maintain consistency of anatomical descriptions - the body is upright, with the head facing forward, the arms at the sides with the palms of the hands facing forward, and the feet together (10, 8)
