Across
  1. 5. primary aim of the hearts pumping action between cardiac output and venous return
  2. 7. The circuit on the left side of the heart pumps blood throughout the body
  3. 10. This hormone during sympathetic nervous system activation (adrenal medulla)can enhance heart rate and contractility
  4. 12. Type of heart failure where the heart pumping is inefficient, leading to blood damming
  5. 13. sympathetic stimulation increasing calcium promoting ventricular ………….
  6. 14. load, the pressure that must be overcome for the ventricles to open the aortic and pulmonary valves and eject blood
  7. 15. rate, when blood volume drops sharply the stroke volume declines the cardiac output is maintained by positive chronotropic factors by increasing ….. …. and
Down
  1. 1. This circuit on the right side of the heart receives oxygen poor blood from the body
  2. 2. form beds where gas exchange takes place
  3. 3. output, the volume of blood pumped out by each ventricle in 1 minute
  4. 4. the abnormal accumulation of material in the inner wall of an artery
  5. 6. This can increase heart rate by enhancing the metabolic rate of cardiac cells which can result from fever or as an effect of exercise (working muscles generate this)
  6. 8. these aortic and pulmonary valves prevent back flow into the ventricles …. …..
  7. 9. the left ventricle of the heart is thicker because this is increased
  8. 11. volume, cardiac output = heart rate X …… ……
  9. 14. along with Gender, exercise and temperature this can also influence the heart rate
