HEART PARTS & FUNCTIONS
Across
- 4. Door between your right atrium and left ventricle
- 5. Two large veins deliver oxygen-poor blood to your right atrium. The right atrium pumps the blood to your right ventricle.
- 6. Carries blood from the right side of your heart to your lungs.
- 7. Transfers oxygen rich blood from the lungs to the left atria of your heart
- 9. Door between your left atrium and left ventricle.
- 10. Opens when blood flows out of your left ventricle to your aorta
- 12. Transfers oxygenated blood from the lungs to the left atria of the heart.
- 13. The left ventricle is slightly larger than the right. It pumps oxygen-rich blood to the rest of the body.
Down
- 1. Carries blood from the legs, feet, and abdomen to the heart (oxygen poor).
- 2. The lower right chamber pumps the oxygen-poor blood to your lungs through the pulmonary artery. The lungs reload blood with oxygen.
- 3. Carries blood from the head, neck, arms, and chest back to the heart (oxygen poor
- 7. Opens when blood flows from your right ventricle to your pulmonary arteries
- 8. After the lungs fill blood with oxygen, the pulmonary veins carry the blood to the left atrium. This upper chamber pumps the blood to your left ventricle.
- 11. Carries blood away from your heart to the rest of your body.
