Cardiovascular System
Across
- 1. Side of the heart that has high oxygen blood
- 5. Irregular and uncoordinated contractions of the atria that can lead to an increased risk of stroke
- 6. Small vessel where blood is exchanged in the tissues
- 7. Side of the heart that has low oxygen blood
- 10. This measures the electrical activity of your heart
- 12. Heart muscle
- 13. Carries low oxygen blood away from the heart to the lungs
- 15. Abnormal heart rhythm
- 17. Abnormal increase in the size of the left ventricle
- 19. Carries blood to the heart
- 21. Atrioventricular valve that is on the left side of the heart
- 23. Largest artery coming out of the heart
- 24. Upper chambers of the heart
- 25. Valve that opens when the right ventricle contracts
- 26. Lower chambers of the heart
- 28. The measure of the pressure your heart exerts on the artery walls
Down
- 2. This is an ultrasound that looks at the valves and chambers of your heart
- 3. Slow heart rate
- 4. Uncoordinated contractions of the ventricles that can lead to sudden cardiac arrest
- 8. The wall that separates the left and right sides of the heart
- 9. Rapid heart rate
- 11. Carries blood away from the heart
- 13. Carries high oxygen blood back to the heart from the lungs
- 14. Period when the heart contracts
- 16. Valve that opens when the left ventricle contracts
- 18. This is the wave that is found on an ECG
- 20. Period when the heart relaxes
- 22. Atrioventricular valve that is on the right side of the heart
- 27. Normal heart rhythm
