Across
- 3. muscular wall between the right and left ventricles.
- 4. heart relaxation phase
- 5. atrioventricular valve between the right atrium and right ventricle.
- 8. valve between the aorta and left ventricle, and between the pulmonary trunk and right ventricle.
- 9. thick layer of the heart made of cardiac muscle
- 11. any blood vessel that returns blood to the heart.
- 12. large vein that returns blood from the lower body regions to the right atrium.
- 14. branch of the aorta which splits apart to form the right subclavian artery and right common carotid artery.

- 18. one of the two upper chambers of the heart which receive blood.
- 19. one of the two lower chambers of the heart which force blood into either the aorta or the pulmonary arteries.
Down
- 1. blood vessel that return oxygenated blood from the lungs to the atrium
- 2. large vein that returns blood from the upper regions of the body to the right atrium. Trabeculae carneae - ridges and folds on the walls of the ventricles.
- 3. heart contraction phase
- 6. ear-like flap made up of muscle from the atria.
- 7. blood vessel that carries blood to the lungs to receive oxygen
- 10. membrane around the heart
- 13. atrioventricular valve between the left atrium and ventricle; also called the mitral valve.
- 15. artery leading from the aorta that supplies blood to the heart muscle.
