Cardiovascular System
Across
- 1. rate faster than 100 beats per minute
- 6. blood pressure
- 9. of heart valves closing
- 11. of electrical activity of heart also called ECG
- 19. artery that carries oxygenated blood from left ventricle to body
- 20. blood cell that carries oxygen via hemoglobin
- 21. fragment needed for blood clotting
- 22. surrounding heart that protects and reduces friction
- 27. chamber that pumps blood out of heart
- 30. phase when heart fills with blood
- 34. between right atrium and right ventricle
- 37. chamber of heart that receives blood
- 38. vein that collects blood from capillaries
- 39. artery that controls blood flow to capillaries
- 40. that prevents backflow of blood
- 41. that supplies oxygen to heart muscle itself
Down
- 2. of arteries due to plaque buildup
- 3. of blood vessels decreasing pressure
- 4. of blood pumped per heartbeat
- 5. muscular layer of heart wall
- 7. phase of heart cycle
- 8. valve between right ventricle and pulmonary artery
- 10. that rapidly conduct impulse through ventricles
- 12. vessel where exchange of oxygen and nutrients occurs
- 13. blood cell for immunity
- 14. of beats per minute
- 15. of blood against vessel walls
- 16. NODE,Sinoatrial node natural pacemaker of heart
- 17. organ that pumps blood through the body
- 18. rate slower than 60 beats per minute
- 23. that carries oxygenated blood from lungs to left atrium
- 24. of blood vessels increasing pressure
- 25. valve between left atrium and left ventricle
- 26. of blood pumped by heart per minute
- 28. that carries deoxygenated blood from right ventricle to lungs
- 29. dividing left and right sides of heart
- 31. valve between left ventricle and aorta
- 32. of blood ejected from ventricle each beat also called ejection fraction
- 33. lining of heart chambers
- 35. vein returning deoxygenated blood to right atrium
- 36. bundle that carries impulse from AV node to ventricles
- 42. NODE,Atrioventricular node delays impulse before ventricles contract
