Cardiovascular system
Across
- 1. the vessels merging from the capillaries returning blood to the heart
- 5. the volume of blood remaining in the chamber at the end of systole, after blood is ejected
- 7. pacemaker cells that are grouped together and control the rate of contractions this one is 70 action potentials per minute
- 9. pacemaker cell pathway that conducts electrical flow to the left atrium
- 10. pacemaker cells that are grouped together and control the rate of contractions this one is 50 action potentials per minute
- 11. terminal fibers made of pacemaker cells that extend from the bundle of his
- 12. pacemaker cell pathway that conducts electrical flow from the SA node to AV node
- 15. a valve that doent close properly, blood flows backwards causing a swishing sound
- 16. disks the connections between cardiac muscle that allow communication between cells and mechanically hold them together
- 17. receives oxygen poor blood from the right atrium and pumps it out through the semilunar valve
- 18. the middle layer of the heart wall made of cardias muscle
- 20. the smallest diameter vessels
- 22. a graphical representation of the electrical currents generated by the action potentials in the heard
- 24. tract of pacemaker cells that come from the AV node down the ventricular septum and to the right and left ventricles
- 25. the maximum pressure during contraction of ventricles
Down
- 2. a stiff narrow valve that doesnt open completely blood will force through causing a whistling sound
- 3. the channel that initially lets in sodium into a autorythmic cell
- 4. the pressure difference between systolic and diastolic pressure
- 6. tendonous fibers that prevent the AV valves from prolapsing from the pressure in the ventricle
- 8. large diameter vessles formed by the merging of venules
- 13. large blood vessels that carry blood away from the heart to the system
- 14. the cells that cause the autorhythmicity in the heart
- 19. the minimum blood pressure right after contraction
- 21. branching from the arteries smaller in diameter
- 22. the volume of blood in the chamber at the end of diastole the max blood volume
- 23. abnormal heart sounds due to turbulent flow because of malfunctioning valves
