Across
  1. 1. arteries that supply blood to the superficial portions of the right ventricle
  2. 5. lining the tunica intima throughout the entire vascular system and the chambers of the heart
  3. 7. forming part of the circulatory system, carrying deoxygenated blood from capillaries to a vein
  4. 11. circuit of arteries carrying blood low in oxygen to the lungs for gas exchanging
  5. 12. the first heart sound measured using a stethoscope (it is the sound created by the closing of the atrioventricular valves during systole.
  6. 15. (ventricular relaxation) is a period that occurs as the chambers of the heart fill with blood
  7. 16. the contraction of this muscle pumps blood through the heart and into the major arteries
  8. 22. atrium is the chamber of the heart that receives blood from the pulmonary circulation
  9. 23. signaling molecules that may function in hemopoiesis, inflammation, and specific immune responses
  10. 24. from this type the cell will originate all of the formed elements of blood
  11. 28. atrium is the chamber of the heart that receives blood from the pulmonary system
  12. 30. its primary function is to deliver oxygen and nutrients to and remove wastes from body cells
  13. 31. a valve located between the left atrium and ventricle (bicuspid valve or left atrioventricular valve)
  14. 32. ( ventricular contraction) is the period of contraction while the heart pumps blood into circulation
  15. 33. the smooth muscles located in the right atrium, right auricle, and left auricle
  16. 34. tiny connections between the coronary arteries to shunt a tiny amount of blood from one artery to another
  17. 35. a large artery by which blood leaves the heart and goes through the systemic circulation
  18. 36. the inferior chambers of the heart
  19. 40. the valves between the atria and ventricles
  20. 43. is a protein derived from fibrinogen responsible to form a blood clot in the coagulation process to repair a ruptured blood vessel
  21. 44. granular leukocytes that can migrate from the bloodstream to tissues as macrophages
  22. 45. the second heart sound measured using a stethoscope (it is the sound of the closing of the semilunar valves during ventricular diastole)
  23. 46. low oxygen levels in the blood causing inadequate oxygenation of tissues
  24. 47. blood plasma that does not contains clotting factors
Down
  1. 2. substances the body does recognize as foreign things (not belonging to the body) and trigger a defensive response from the white cells
  2. 3. ventricle is the heart chamber that receives deoxygenated venous blood from the right atrium
  3. 4. is the cycle whose period time is between the onset of atrial systole (atrial contraction) and ventricular diastole (ventricular relaxation)
  4. 6. producing blood cells to replace them
  5. 8. are sounds heard via auscultation with a stethoscope of the closing of the atrioventricular valves (lub) and semilunar valves (dub)
  6. 9. the anterior part of each atrium is a wrinkled, leaf-like extension
  7. 10. phagocytic cell ( a matured monocyte)
  8. 12. is a colorless, nucleated blood cell, whose main function is to protect the body from disease
  9. 13. is an overproduction of red blood cells
  10. 14. by which the body seals a ruptured blood vessel and prevents further loss of blood
  11. 17. which are proteins called immunoglobulins that attach to foreign things to produce a process called agglutination (clumping cells)
  12. 18. a fibrous sac and serous lining in which the heart is within
  13. 19. its location is at the thoracic cavity between the lungs and the mediastinum
  14. 20. ventricle is the heart chamber that receives oxygenated blood through the pulmonary veins
  15. 21. a valve situated between the right atrium and right ventricle (right atrioventricular valve)
  16. 25. the innermost layer of the heart wall made of endothelium
  17. 26. circuit of pulmonary veins returning fresh and bright red oxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart
  18. 27. key player blood cells in the hemostasis process
  19. 29. low percentages of oxygen in systemic arterial blood
  20. 36. a specialized structure located within the heart or vessels that ensure a one-way flow of blood
  21. 37. forming part of the circulatory system, carrying oxygenated blood away from the heart
  22. 38. veins that drain the heart and generally parallel the large surface arteries
  23. 39. return deoxygenated blood from systemic circulation to the heart
  24. 41. microscopic vessels where nutrients and wastes are exchanged
  25. 42. immature erythrocytes that may still contain fragments of organelles
