Across
- 6. ___ arteriosus, fetal shunt from pulm. trk. to aorta
- 7. hormone secreted from atria due to high BP, abbrev.
- 8. ___-load, arterial "backpressure"
- 10. ventricle that pumps blood to lungs
- 12. ___-volume, amt. blood ejected from vent. per beat
- 13. lower chamber of heart
- 14. pulmonary ____, carries blood from lung to heart
- 16. ___ arteries, type with high elastic CT., propels blood
- 20. umbilical arteries carry blood to the ____
- 21. standard units of measure of blood pressure
- 22. ___-Node, "pacemaker" of heart, abbrev.
- 23. ___ artery, branch of R. coronary a.
- 25. upper chamber of heart
- 26. ___ interval, includes "pause" between atrial/vent. depol.
- 27. ____ valve is one that doesn't open all the way
- 28. cardiac ____, duration of one complete heartbeat
- 29. ____ valve, separates left atrium and ventricle
- 31. ___-cardia, abnormally slow heart-rate
Down
