6. Vines
Answer: Heart
Veins.
Veins are part of the body's circulatory system and are blood vessels that take blood to the heart and carry oxygen around the body. They have valves to prevent the blood from flowing backwards. The vena cava is the largest vein in the human body and it is connected directly to the heart.
7. Abet
Answer: Heart
Beat.
The heart is a muscle in the body which acts as a pump to send the blood around the body. Blood provides the body with oxygen and nutrients. The heart fills with blood and then contracts to send the blood along. This is what caused the beating of the heart. When doctors listens to the heart with a stethoscope they are hoping for a "lub-dub" sound with each beat. This sound comes from the valves in the heart shutting the blood inside.
8. Recent
Answer: Heart
Centre or center
The centre can be defined as most important or vital part of something or the very heart of the matter. It can also mean an area which is central within some larger region as in "The centre was the heart of the city".
9. Vole
Answer: Heart
Love.
Love is an emotion associated with the heart. It is unclear why this is the case as emotions are actually regulated in the brain. One theory is that when people get excited their heart beats quicker and this is a noticeable symptom. The ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle thought that it was the heart that held all emotions and desires. The heart shape is recognised all over the world as a symbol of romantic love and affection.
10. Reside
Answer: Heart
Desire.
As with love the heart is also associated with desire and the feelings for romantic partners. Desire can be defined as strongly wishing or pining for something. In William Shakespeare's play "As You Like It" the character of Rosalind speaks the line "Can one desire too much of a good thing" when considering love and marriage while arguing that a person can love someone too much and it will only lead to pain and hardship.
