Features of the Heart
Across
- 2. Semilunar valves open and blood rushes out
- 5. ___ Arteries, branch off aorta to provide blood flow to the heart
- 8. Separates right atrium and ventricle
- 11. Separates left atrium and ventricle
- 12. ___ Tendineae, connects AV valves to papillary muscles
- 14. Type of valve that separates ventricles from vessels
- 16. Involved in cardiac muscle plateau phase
- 17. Semilunar valves close and heart refills
- 19. Receives oxygenated blood
- 20. Degree of stretch of heart muscle during filling
- 21. AV ___, only electrical connection between atria and ventricles
- 22. Vessels take blood from heart to lungs
- 24. Contractile strength at any given muscle length
- 25. Returns blood from systemic circulation to heart
- 26. Pressure ventricles must overcome to eject blood
- 27. Sac that surrounds heart
Down
- 1. ___ Nervous system, increases heart rate and increases force of contraction
- 3. Involved in cardiac muscle depolarization
- 4. Coronary ___, empties into the right atrium
- 6. Pumps blood to pulmonary circulation
- 7. Receives deoxygenated blood
- 9. Vessels take blood from lungs to heart
- 10. Feature on ECG showing ventricle repolarization
- 13. Pumps blood to systemic circulation
- 15. Spontaneously depolarizes, beginning of action potential
- 18. Feature on ECG showing ventricle depolarization (and atrial repolarization)
- 22. Involved in cardiac muscle repolarization
- 23. Feature on ECG showing SA node and atrial depolarization
