- 6. Divides the right and left side of the heart.
- 9. This is where oxygen is passed into cells and waste into the blood.
- 13. Points to the left and rests on the diaphragm.
- 14. Circulation System that carries oxygen-rich blood
- 15. Prevents blood from flowing back into the left atrium after it entered the aorta.
- 18. Atrium Receives oxygen-poor blood from the superior and inferior Vena Cava.
- 22. Fluid filled sac.
- 23. These have thicker walls to withstand pressure when the heart contracts to push blood throughout the body.
- 26. Valve Prevents backflow of blood into the right atrium.
- 28. Vena Cava Returns oxygen-poor blood to the right atrium from the lower regions

- 30. Fibers Fibers located in the muscle of ventricle walls.
- 31. Pressure Pressure when the ventricles contract and push out blood.
