PUZZLE #373: Empty Word Ladder 2

PUZZLE #373
EMPTY WORD LADDER 2

In normal word ladders, you have to turn one word into another word by changing it one letter at a time (such as CAT — COT — DOT — DOG). However, this word ladder is completely blank, meaning that the starting and ending words are completely unknown. To fill it in, we've provided clues to all of the words that link the two mystery words, though they're not listed in any particular order. Rearrange the clues' answers so that they form a proper word ladder in the white spaces, then figure out the two mystery words on the ladder's top and bottom, signified by the yellow spaces. This pair of words makes up the FINAL ANSWER: two related medical words.


CLUES
• WORD AT THE START OF THE LADDER
• WORD AT THE END OF THE LADDER
• "All She _____ to Do Is Dance" (Don Henley song)
• Bides one's time
• Exists
• Fur color of Ice Bear from We Bare Bears
• Henry VIII had six
• Human body's largest internal organ by mass
• Shrinks like a moon
• Simple machine with a fulcrum
• Southernmost country in South America
• Tiny bits that rhyme with "bits"
• What the playable characters in Kelly Slater's Pro Surfer ride on
_____ You Were Sleeping (Sandra Bullock film)

Once you think you know what the FINAL ANSWER is, send it to either redhead64@chartermi.net or itsredhead64@gmail.com (though I'm more likely to check the second one) and I'll put your name on a solvers list once I post the answers in about two weeks. You can also use those email addresses to give me some comments and feedback (or even ask for a hint, though you'll be marked as having used one if you do so) or send me the answer to last week's puzzle, if you haven't already figured it out. If you have a printer and want to solve this puzzle on paper, just head below the break for a link to a .PDF version which you can print out!
