  2. 8. How many forces are involved in the determination of bulk flow and are crucial for the overall process of capillary exchange?
  3. 9. The [ ] phase is specific to the action potential of cardiac contractile cells and is crucial for preventing fatigue.
  4. 11. There are [ ] layers that make up the heart wall.
  5. 14. The largest blood vessel in the body with each human containing one of these features.
  6. 16. What ensures the unidirectional flow of blood and is affected by changes in the pressure of blood?
  7. 17. Within the cardiac muscle cycle, relaxation of the muscle leads to the filling phase where fluids can enter which is also referred to as?
  8. 21. When bulk flow is seen to enter the capillaries due to pressure changes this is referred to as?
  9. 23. If you multiply stroke volume by heart rate it will determine which value (combine words)?
  10. 24. The right atrioventricular(AV)valve is also referred to as [ ] because it is seen to have three flaps that open to allow blood through.
  11. 25. The average cardiac output is how many liters per minute?
Down
  1. 1. The type of circulation that is seen in the right ventricle and regulates the flow of low oxygen blood to the lungs.
  2. 2. The amount of blood that is pumped out of the left and right ventricular chamber with each contraction is known as the [ ] volume.
  3. 3. Which system regulates the SA and AV nodes and is supplied by the vagus nerve?
  4. 5. The [ ] receives low oxygen blood from the right atrium and pumps that blood through the pulmonary artery to gather oxygen from the lungs.
  5. 6. Which features of the blood vessels are the smallest and exist in billions?
  6. 7. Groups of large blood vessels that transport oxygen rich blood from the heart to different organs and systems around the body.
  7. 10. The type of circulation that is seen carrying oxygen rich blood from the left ventricle of the heart to the rest of the organs and tissues within the body.
  8. 12. walls contain which type of fibers that are crucial for flexibility and allowing the arteries to stretch.
  9. 13. Within the cardiac muscle cycle, contraction leads to emptying of the fluid in the muscle which is also referred to as?
  10. 15. What type of tissue is responsible for separating and attaching different components of the heart and forms dense layer around each heart valve
  11. 18. Which heart sound is associated with sharp high pitched sounds that are short and commonly described as “dup”?
  12. 19. Abnormal heart rhythms linked to cardiac disease that are a result of a change in blood flow due to defective heart valves are commonly referred to as?
  13. 20. Which component of the plasma is unable to cross the semipermeable capillary cell membrane and remains within the vessels?
  14. 22. [ ] regulates the low resistance flow of blood and can function as a pressure reservoir due to the elasticity of the smooth muscle and elastin fibers in their walls.
