Circulatory System
Across
- 6. The artery that carries deoxygenated blood from the right ventricle to the lungs.
- 9. The lower chamber of the heart that pumps oxygenated blood to the rest of the body.
- 11. The arteries that supply oxygenated blood to the heart muscle itself.
- 14. The lower chamber of the heart that pumps deoxygenated blood to the lungs for oxygenation.
- 15. The upper chamber of the heart that receives oxygenated blood from the lungs.
- 16. The blood vessels that carry blood away from the heart, typically oxygenated (except pulmonary arteries).
Down
- 1. The vein that carries deoxygenated blood from the body to the right atrium.
- 2. A device implanted in the heart to regulate the heartbeat and ensure it beats at a proper rate.
- 3. A structure in the heart and veins that prevents the backward flow of blood.
- 4. The large artery that carries oxygenated blood from the left ventricle to the body.
- 5. The blood vessels that carry blood toward the heart, typically deoxygenated (except pulmonary veins).
- 6. The veins that carry oxygenated blood from the lungs to the left atrium.
- 7. A condition that occurs when the blood flow to a part of the heart is blocked, causing damage to the heart muscle.
- 8. The upper chamber of the heart that receives deoxygenated blood from the body.
- 10. The tiny blood vessels that allow exchange of gases, nutrients, and waste between the blood and tissues.
- 12. The muscular organ that pumps blood throughout the body.
- 13. The muscular wall that separates the right and left sides of the heart.
