Across
  1. 3. lower chambers of the heart
  2. 8. process of producing red blood cells
  3. 9. tough membranous sac surrounding the heart
  4. 10. hemorrhage can __________ cardiac output
  5. 13. valve located between the left atrium and ventricle
  6. 20. leukocyte that originates from myeloid stem cells but is agranular
  7. 21. join to form fibrin
  8. 22. releases erythropoietin
  9. 23. type of valve leading to aorta and pulmonary trunk
  10. 25. fibres that transmit signals VERY rapidly to ensure contractile cells all contract together
  11. 26. when blocked can cause malnutrition of the heart and potentially heart failure
  12. 27. top chambers of the heart
Down
  1. 1. constitutes most of blood
  2. 2. cells that have prominent cytoplasmic granules
  3. 4. enzyme involved in coagulation
  4. 5. hormone produced in the thyroid, increasing heart rate and cardiac output
  5. 6. inner lining of blood vessels
  6. 7. where action potential is from in cardiac contraction
  7. 10. process of ventricular filing
  8. 11. only pathway for action potential
  9. 12. receptors found in the aortic arch monitoring blood pressure
  10. 14. protein used for lipid transport
  11. 15. major event that occurs during vascular spasm
  12. 16. this vein carries oxygen-rich blood
  13. 17. otherwise known as white blood cells
  14. 18. end diastolic volume - end systolic volume
  15. 19. circuit involving gas exchange between blood and tissues
  16. 24. blood pressure is higher than osmotic pressure at this end
  17. 26. heart rate x stroke volume
