4th Anatomy - Heart and Blood
Across
- 4. the system that includes the heart and blood vessels
- 5. vena cava where blood returns to the heart from upper body
- 10. a double layered protective covering of the heart
- 12. sends deoxygenated blood to the lungs
- 13. valve between the right atrium and the right ventricle
- 14. valve that keeps blood from flowing back into the left ventricle
- 17. vena cava where blood returns to the heart from lower body
- 20. inner layer of the heart
- 21. vessels that carry blood away from the heart
- 22. this blood enters on the right side of the heart through the superior and inferior vena cava and leaves through the pulmonary artery to the lungs
- 24. this blood is bright red blood that has picked up oxygen from the lungs, and enters back into the heart through the pulmonary lungs
- 25. deoxygenated blood enters the heart here
Down
- 1. pumps oxygen poor blood to the lungs through the pulmonary valve then the pulmonary arteries
- 2. smallest blood vessels
- 3. sends oxygenated blood back to the heart
- 6. vessels that carry blood towards the heart
- 7. valve positioned between the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery
- 8. the two lower chambers of the heart, and they pump blood out to the lungs and body
- 9. chamber that receives blood from the lungs
- 11. the two upper chambers of the heart
- 15. pumps blood out of the heart through the aorta aortic valve into the aorta
- 16. largest artery; where the blood leaves the heart and is pumped to the rest of the body
- 18. prevent back flow of blood
- 19. valve between the left atrium and the left ventricle; bicuspid valve
- 23. divides the right and left chambers of the heart
