Across
  1. 5. / The upper chambers of the heart
  2. 6. / The largest artery of the body
  3. 7. / The series of coordinated events that occur during one heartbeat
  4. 8. / A specialized cluster of cells that generates electrical impulses, controlling the heart's rhythm
  5. 11. / Phase of the heartbeat where the heart muscle relaxes
  6. 12. / A test that records the electrical activity of the heart.
  7. 14. / Vessels that carry blood away from the heart
  8. 15. / The force exerted by blood on the walls of the arteries as it circulates through the body
  9. 16. / The muscular tissue of the heart
  10. 17. / Vessels that carry blood to the heart
  11. 18. / Number of times your heart beats in one minute
  12. 19. / Phase of the heartbeat where the heart muscle contracts
Down
  1. 1. / Refers to the heart and blood vessels and their role in blood circulation
  2. 2. / Vessels that connect arterioles and venules
  3. 3. / Rhythmical throbbing of the artery as blood pumps through them
  4. 4. / A process where specialized cardiac cells transmit electrical signals to coordinate heartbeat
  5. 9. / The lower chambers of the heart
  6. 10. / A perspective from which the heart's electrical activity is viewed from an ECG
  7. 13. / The process of blood flow to the heart muscle
