Cardiovascular System
Across
- 2. the amount of blood pumped by the ventricle during one heartbeat
- 4. valves that are open during ventricular diastole
- 6. superior chambers of the heart
- 11. the outer tissue layer of the heart
- 13. the layer of thin tissue that lines the inside of the heart
- 15. carries blood from the lungs to the left side of the heart
- 16. carry blood to the lungs
- 19. the events that occur during one heartbeat
- 20. a heart rate of greater than 100 beats per minute
- 22. uncoordinated shuddering of the heart muscle
- 24. vessels where gas exchange takes place in the systemic system
- 26. vessels that generally carry oxygenated blood
- 27. vessels that generally carry deoxygenated blood
- 28. caused by failure of the left ventricle
- 29. chest pain
- 30. posterior chambers of the heart
Down
- 1. high blood pressure
- 2. valves that are open during ventricular systole
- 3. relaxation of the ventricles
- 5. heart rate x the stroke volume
- 7. caused by failure of the right ventricle
- 8. arteries that supply nutrients to the heart tissue
- 9. a heart rate of lower than 60 beats per minute
- 10. the alternating expansion and recoil of an artery that occurs with each beat
- 12. caused by death to cardiac muscle tissue due to lack of oxygen
- 14. low blood pressure
- 17. the layer of the heart that that is composed of cardiac muscle
- 18. vessel that empties deoxygenated blood into the right atrium
- 21. vessel through which blood leaves the heart to deliver blood to the body
- 23. contraction of the ventricles
- 25. double serous membrane that surrounds the heart
