Across
  1. 4. transport blood away from heart
  2. 7. septum separates left and right ventricles
  3. 11. and inferior venae cavae return oxygen-poor blood to heart
  4. 13. transport blood between arteries and veins, and perform nutrient, gas, and waste exchange
  5. 14. ventricle: Receives blood from the right atrium; pumps blood to lungs
  6. 15. ventricle: Receives blood from the left atrium; pumps blood to systemic circuit
  7. 16. vessels transport blood throughout the body
Down
  1. 1. transport blood toward heart
  2. 2. is a hollow, cone-shaped, muscular pump; generates force to transport respiratory gases, nutrients, and wastes through body
  3. 3. circuit: Transports oxygen-rich blood and nutrients to body cells, removes wastes from cells, flows back to heart
  4. 5. pericardium: Deep to fibrous pericardium; outer layer of serous membrane
  5. 6. circuit: Carries oxygen-poor blood from heart to lungs, drops off carbon dioxide, picks up oxygen, flows back to heart
  6. 8. septum separates left and right atria
  7. 9. pericardium: Tough outer layer, that surrounds double-layered serous membrane
  8. 10. pericardium: Inner layer of serous membrane; attached to surface of heart; also called the epicardium
  9. 12. atrium: Receives blood from the pulmonary veins; pumps blood to left ventricle
