Cardiovascular ----------------------Weidert
Across
- 6. point of the heart
- 7. directs blood flow around capillary beds
- 9. blood clot most likely lodged in a vein
- 11. elevated blood pressure
- 12. moon shaped valves of the aorta or pulmonary artery
- 13. "sped up" cardiac cycle
- 16. where the SA node is found
- 18. the muscle portion of the heart
- 20. artery that runs posterior to the knee
- 21. right AV valve
- 22. hormone that causes vasoconstriction
- 23. the abdominal aorta "splits" into this
- 24. pulmonary vein empties here
- 27. "sac" that the heart resides in
- 36. vessel that travels back toward the heart
- 38. artery to the kidney
- 41. hormone that elevates BP by absorbing more water from kidneys
- 43. largest artery in the body
- 44. artery of the wrist where pulse is taken
- 45. blood clot that is moving
- 48. tool used to detect electricity in the heart
- 49. allows the heart to bear
- 50. vein that travels to the liver from the digestive system
- 51. muscular part of the arteries and veins
- 52. the inner lining of the heart- repels blood
- 53. pumps to the pulmonary circuit
Down
- 1. wraps around the ventricles to cause contraction
- 2. space b/w lungs where the heart is
- 3. the third branch off of the aorta
- 4. blood pressure when the ventricles contract
- 5. sounds heard when heart valves don't close properly
- 8. major blood vessel to your head
- 10. artery of the arm where blood pressure is typically taken
- 14. travels to the lungs
- 15. when the atria are depolarizing
- 17. the "pause" between P and R it created here
- 19. pacemaker of the heart
- 25. slower than normal cardiac cycle
- 26. location of the AV bundle and AV branches
- 28. plaque build up in the coronary arteries
- 29. heart attack
- 30. blood pressure when ventricles are relaxed
- 31. major artery down the middle of the back
- 32. enters the right atrium
- 33. chest pain
- 34. tissue can become valves in larger veins
- 35. strings on the cuspid valves
- 37. vessel that travels away from the heart
- 39. pumps to the systemic circuit
- 40. when the ventricles are repolarizing
- 42. major blood vessel to your arm and head
- 46. vessel that is one cell thick and exchanges gases/fluids
- 47. left AV valve
