Across
  1. 3. Cholinergic receptors in the heart
  2. 5. Decrease baroreceptor firing engages this branch of the autonomic nervous system
  3. 8. These types of arteries buffer the large pressures generated by the heart
  4. 9. Ventricular depolarization on an ECG
  5. 11. These fibers spread the impulse through the ventricular free walls
  6. 14. Small vessels that serve as the primary cite for gas and nutrient exchange
  7. 17. Force of blood exerted on walls of blood vessels
  8. 19. Do metabolites normally stimulate dilation or constriction?
  9. 20. Force that must be overcome to push blood through the circulation
  10. 22. Period of the cardiac cycle where the mitral valve closes and the
  11. 27. Under normal circumstances this hormone causes dilation through β2 adrenergic
  12. 28. Something that modulates heart rate can be said to modulate
  13. 29. This mechanism couples intrinsic neuron activity with blood flow
Down
  1. 1. These autonomic nerves are spread more diffusely throughout the heart
  2. 2. Cholinergic receptors in the autonomic ganglia
  3. 3. This mechanism couples metabolic activity with blood flow
  4. 4. These ensure one-way flow in veins
  5. 6. Time between atrial and ventricular depolarization
  6. 7. Atrial depolarization on an ECG
  7. 10. Frictional force of blood acting on the endothelium
  8. 12. Mechanoreceptors located in the aortic arch
  9. 13. Product of stroke volume and heart rate
  10. 15. valve has yet to open
  11. 16. Something that modulates cardiac contractility can be said to modulate
  12. 18. The difference between end diastolic and end systolic volume
  13. 21. Initial stretch of the heart prior to contraction
  14. 23. direct blood back to the heart
  15. 24. β1 adrenergic receptors are located in the
  16. 25. Most muscular heart chambers
  17. 26. direct blood away from the heart
