Cardiovascular system
Across
- 4. The phase of the heartbeat when the heart muscle contracts and pumps blood from the chambers into the arteries.
- 7. It is a pressure of 130 systolic or higher, or 80 diastolic or higher, that stays high over time.
- 8. It is a form of cancer of blood or bone marrow which affects leukocytes.
- 10. It is also known as the bicuspid valve and it is located between the left atrium and the left ventricle.
- 11. It is a heart condition which makes the heart beat more than a 100 times per minute.
- 12. Thick-walled, thicker and smaller lumen than the accompanying veins and lack of valves.
- 14. They are the blood vessels that deliver deoxygenated blood to the lungs.
- 17. Thin-walled, thicker than arteries, larger lumen than arteries and valves are present.
- 22. It carries deoxygenated blood from the right ventricle to the lungs and it carries oxygenated blood to the left atrium and ventricle.
- 25. The lower right chamber in the heart which receives blood from the right atrium and it pumps it into the lungs.
- 27. Condition where the blood doesn´t have the necessary blood-clotting proteins which makes the blood clot.
- 29. It is one of the largest veins in the body, it collects deoxygenated blood from the upper half of the body.
- 30. They contain a protein called hemoglobin, which carries oxygen from the lungs to all parts of the body.
Down
- 1. It is one of the largest veins in the body, it collects deoxygenated blood from the lower half of the body.
- 2. Disease where plaque builds up in the arteries.
- 3. Condition also known as high blood pressure where blood pressure is constantly elevated.
- 5. It carries oxygenated blood from the left ventricle to the capillaries in tissues and from these capillaries it carries deoxygenated blood to the right atrium.
- 6. It is considered to be between 90/60mmHg and 120/80mmHg.
- 9. Tissue that separates the two ventricular chambers and the blood which comes through them.
- 13. They are the veins that transfer oxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart.
- 15. It sends out electrical impulses which travel through the heart, making it contract.
- 16. They are also called leukocytes or leukocytes
- 18. It is the largest artery in the body.
- 19. It is the valve that separates the left ventricle and the aorta.
- 20. It is the valve that is located between the right atrium and the right ventricle.
- 21. The left upper chamber in the heart. Ir receives oxygenated blood, which it pumps into the left ventricle.
- 23. It is defined as readings lower than 90 mm Hg systolic or 60 mm Hg diastolic.
- 24. Smallest blood vessels in the body and in these the transfer of oxygen and nutrients between the bloodstream and tissues is done.
- 26. The phase of the heartbeat when the heart muscle relaxes and allows the chambers to fill with blood.
- 28. The right upper chamber in the heart. Ir receives deoxygenated blood and pumps it into the right ventricle.
