Anatomy of the Heart
Across
- 3. these arteries supply oxygenated blood to the heart and neck regions of the body
- 6. the muscular middle layer of the wall of the heart
- 7. carry blood that is oxygen poor
- 12. felt to find a pulse
- 15. valve between the left atrium and left ventricle
- 17. the inner layer of the heart
- 18. the smallest arteries
- 20. the sound made when valves open and close
- 21. when ventricles relax and fill with blood
- 23. carries oxygen poor blood from the body to the heart (2 words)
- 25. cardiac __ is the rate at which the conducts electrical impulses
- 26. the bundle of fibers that carry cardiac impulses
Down
- 1. valve between the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery
- 2. fiber branches that extend from the atrioventricular bundle
- 3. the heart has 4 of these
- 4. fluid filled sac that surrounds the heart
- 5. valve between the right atrium and the right ventricle
- 8. when ventricles pump blood out of the heart
- 9. the outer layer of the wall of the heart
- 10. one of the upper heart chambers
- 11. one of the lower chambers of the heart
- 13. the two large veins that join to form the superior vena cava
- 14. section that sets the heart rate
- 16. valve between the left ventricle and the aorta
- 19. chambers that collect blood as it enters the heart
- 22. tiny vessels connecting arteries and veins
- 23. chambers that pump blood to the lungs
- 24. these arteries carry oxygenated and nutrient filled blood to the heart muscle
