1. Across 2: The small intestine is the major organ for nutrient absorption.
2. Across 4: The kidney filters blood and produces urine.
3. Across 5: Peristalsis are rhythmic muscle contractions that move food through the digestive tract.
4. Across 7: The heart maintains continuous blood circulation.
5. Across 8: A vaccine is a suspension of weakened/dead pathogens to boost immunity.
6. Across 9: Tissue is a group of similar cells with the same function.
7. Across 11: The pancreas produces pancreatic juice for digestion.
8. Across 13: The trachea is the hollow muscular airway.
9. Down 1: Digestion is the process of breaking food into nutrients.
10. Down 3: The skeletal system provides shape, support, and protection.
