Anatomy and Physiology review
Across
- 3. - Phase where the ventricles contract and pump blood out of the heart
- 8. - Movement that decreases the angle between the foot and the shin, as in pulling the toes up toward the shin.
- 11. - The largest artery in the body, delivering blood from the heart.
- 12. - Air sacs in the lungs where oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged.
- 13. - Movement toward the midline of the body.
- 14. - Liquid component of blood, made mostly of water.
- 20. - Movement away from the midline of the body.
- 21. - Natural pacemaker of the heart located in the right atrium
- 22. Extension - Movement of the arm away from the midline in the horizontal plane
- 23. - Bundle of fibers that transmits electrical impulses from the AV node to the ventricles
- 24. - A push or pull that can change the motion of an object, central to Newton's Second Law.
- 29. - Small vessel that controls blood flow into capillaries.
- 31. - Small arteries that lead to capillaries, controlling blood flow to tissues
- 32. - Blood component involved in clotting.
- 33. - Structure in veins that prevents the backflow of blood.
- 37. - Newton's Second Law: Force equals mass times this term.
- 38. - Decreasing the angle between two bones at a joint.
- 39. - Increasing the angle between two bones at a joint.
- 41. - Rotating the forearm so the palm faces downwards.
- 42. - Circular movement
Down
- 1. - Newton's First Law: The tendency of a body to resist changes in its state of motion.
- 2. - The node that delays electrical impulses between the atria and ventricles
- 4. - Blood vessel that carries oxygenated blood away from the heart.
- 5. - Blood vessel that carries deoxygenated blood back to the heart.
- 6. - Phase where the muscle shortens and produces force in the stretch-shortening cycle.
- 7. - Tiny blood vessel where the exchange of gases and nutrients occurs.
- 9. - Phase where the muscle lengthens under tension during the stretch-shortening cycle.
- 10. Flexion - Movement of the arm across the body in the horizontal plane from an extended position.
- 15. volume - The amount of blood pumped out by the heart in one contraction
- 16. - The process of widening blood vessels to increase blood flow
- 17. The phase where the heart muscle relaxes, and the ventricles fill with blood
- 18. - Narrowing of blood vessels to reduce blood flow to certain areas
- 19. - Electrical fibers that cause the ventricles to contract
- 25. - These structures prevent backflow of blood in veins
- 26. - Movement that increases the angle between the foot and the shin, as in pointing the toes.
- 27. - Relaxation phase of the heart when it refills with blood
- 28. Output - The total amount of blood the heart pumps in one minute
- 30. - Newton's Third Law: For every action, there is an equal and opposite.
- 31. - The brief period between the eccentric and concentric phases in the stretch-shortening cycle.
- 34. Cava - The largest vein in the body, returning blood to the heart.
- 35. - Rotating the forearm so the palm faces upwards.
- 36. - The ability to exert force quickly, often enhanced by the stretch-shortening cycle.
- 40. - Movement around an axis, such as turning the head.
