Cardiovascular system
Across
- 4. ECG wave representing atrial depolarization SAU10 CVS
- 6. Valve between left atrium and left ventricle SAU10 CVS
- 7. ECG wave representing ventricular repolarization SAU10 CVS
- 8. Ventricular contraction and blood ejection phase
- 9. Thickest heart wall layer; cardiac muscle that pumps blood SAU10 CVS
- 11. Double-layered sac enclosing the heart SAU10 CVS
- 14. More stretch from venous return → stronger contraction SAU10 CVS
- 16. Ventricular relaxation and filling phase
- 17. Resistance the heart overcomes during ejection; raised by hypertension SAU10 CVS
- 18. Heart's pacemaker in the right atrium
Down
- 1. 'Heart strings' preventing AV valve leaflets from flapping over
- 2. Delays impulse so atria finish before ventricles contract
- 3. Valve between right atrium and right ventricle SAU10 CVS
- 5. Blood pumped per ventricle per beat (ml/beat)
- 10. Spread impulse to ventricular wall causing twisting contraction
- 12. Heart rate multiplied by stroke volume
- 13. ECG wave representing ventricular depolarization and contraction SAU10 CVS
- 15. Ventricular stretch just before contraction; set by venous return
