Across
  1. 3. Inner endothelial lining of the heart
  2. 4. Thick muscular layer responsible for heart contraction
  3. 6. Resistance the ventricle must overcome to eject blood
  4. 7. Transport medium that carriers dissolved and suspended materials
  5. 10. AV valve between the left atrium and left ventricle
  6. 11. another name for the mitral valve
  7. 12. Chamber that generates the highest pressure in the heart
  8. 14. Functional circuit that sends blood from the left heart to the body
  9. 15. Outer visceral layer covering the heart surface
  10. 17. Hormone that increases sodium and water reabsorption
  11. 19. Semilunar valve between the right ventricle and pulmonary artery
  12. 20. Semilunar valve between the left ventricle and aorta
  13. 21. Outer sac that cushions the heart and reduces friction
  14. 22. phase of the cardiac cycle when the heart contracts
Down
  1. 1. Functional circuit that sends blood from the right heart to the lungs
  2. 2. Organ that acts as the pump of the circulatory system
  3. 5. Widening of blood vessels that lowers resistance
  4. 8. AV valve between the right atrium and right ventricle
  5. 9. Passageways that carry blood throughout the body
  6. 13. Law that states increased ventricular filling increases contraction force
  7. 16. pump that returns calcium to the sarcoplasmic reticulum
  8. 18. Heart valves prevent this from occurring
