Across
  1. 2. Form at the congregation of many capillaries. Eventually, many congregate to form a vein.
  2. 5. Organ that pumps blood through the circulatory system.
  3. 6. Yelowish liquid component of blood that holds blood cells in suspension. Makes up ~55% of out blood volume.
  4. 8. Colorless fluid that contains white blood cells and bathes the tissues.
  5. 9. 2 upper cavities of the heart which receive blood from veins.
  6. 11. Blood vessels which carry blood away from the heart at high pressure. Thick and flexible.
  7. 14. Circulation that pumps blood to and from the lungs
  8. 15. Branch from the arteries at the tissues the artery was heading to. Can contract, controlling blood flow.
  9. 17. Red blood cells
  10. 18. Quivering or irregular heartbeat that can lead to blood clots and heart failure.
  11. 19. Muscular tissue of the heart
  12. 20. Circulation that pumps blood to and from the rest of the body (Except the lungs)
Down
  1. 1. Body fluid that delivers nutrients and oxygen to cells and transports metabolic waste products away from cells.
  2. 2. 2 large chambers in the heart that receive blood from the atrium, and pump it out through arteries.
  3. 3. Valves which that prevent the flow of blood back into the heart. Found in the heart and major arteries.
  4. 4. Fine branching blood vessels that form a network between veins and arteries. Deliver blood c=to individual cells.
  5. 7. Valves which connect the atriums to the ventricles, allowing the control of blood flow between them.
  6. 10. Blood vessels that carry blood to the heart, at low speeds and pressures. Thinner than arteries.
  7. 12. Tissue that forms the intermost layer of blood vessels.
  8. 13. Type of cell capable of engulfing and absorbing bacteria and other small cells/particles.
  9. 16. Muscular wall that completely divides the heart into 2 sections
