Circulatory System Heart Anatomy
Across
- 6. carries blood from lower body back to hear
- 7. blood that does not contain oxygen and will be pumped back to the heart
- 10. carries blood from left ventricle to all parts of body
- 12. carries blood from upper body back to hear
- 13. carries blood from the aortic arch down to the lower body
- 14. carries blood from the left lung back to the heart
- 15. prevent backflow from the left ventricles back into the left atrium
- 16. prevent backflow from the right ventricles back into the right atrium
- 17. 'heart strings' that hold valves in place so they don't swing back into the atria
- 18. prevents backflow from the pulmonary arteries back into the ventricle
Down
- 1. small/upper chamber that pumps blood to the left ventricle
- 2. thinner, lower muscular chamber that pumps blood to the lungs
- 3. blood that contains oxygen and will be pumped to the body
- 4. small/upper chamber that pumps blood to right ventricle
- 5. wall of muscle that separates left and right ventricles
- 8. prevents backflow from the aorta back into the ventricle
- 9. thick, lower muscular chamber that pumps blood to all parts of the body
- 11. carries blood from the heart to the lungs
