- 6. My Name
- 7. Red Blood Cell
- 9. Receives deoxygenated blood from the body through veins, namely superior and inferior venae cavae.
- 10. White Blood Cell
- 11. Regulates and supports the one-way flow of blood out of the left ventricle and into the aorta
- 13. Largest artery in the body
- 15. Starts with the closure of the semilunar valves and ends with the closure of the AV valves.
- 16. Controls blood flow from the right atrium into the right ventricle
- 17. Innermost layer of heart wall
- 19. Supports pulmonary circulation by carrying deoxygenated blood from the right ventricle of the heart into the lungs for gas exchange
- 20. Controls blood flow from the right ventricle into the pulmonary trunk
Down
- 1. Pumps oxygenated blood into the aorta to be distributed to smaller arteries
- 3. Run along surface of the heart to carry oxygenated blood to the heart muscle
- 4. Controls blood flow from the left atrium into the left ventricle
- 5. Middle layer of heart wall
- 8. Outermost layer of heart wall
- 10. Receives oxygenated blood from the lungs via the pulmonary veins
- 12. Pumps deoxygenated blood into the pulmonary artery and then to the lungs to pick up oxygen.
- 14. Ventricular contractions that force blood out of the heart through the pulmonary and aortic valves
- 18. Fluid in Blood
