Cardiovascular System Anatomy
Across
- 6. the cavity that is surrounded by pericardium that keeps the heart fixed in place.
- 8. Fine branching blood vessels. Involved in the transfer of materials between the blood and tissue cells.
- 9. This is the ventricle that receives deoxygenated blood from the right atrium, then pumps it into the pulmonary trunk.
- 10. The largest artery in the body. Carries oxygenated blood from the left ventricle to other parts of the body.
Down
- 1. This heart valve allows for blood flow from the left atrium to the left ventricle.
- 2. This part of the vena cava carries blood from the head, neck, chest and arms to the heart.
- 3. The blood vessels responsible for carrying blood towards the heart.
- 4. The upper chambers of the heart, comprised of both a right and left chamber.
- 5. This valve on the right side of the heart contains 3 flaps, allowing for blood to flow from the right atrium to the right ventricle.
- 7. A depression on the inferior lobe of the left lung, which is present to accommodate space taken up by the heart.
