The cardiovascular system
Across
- 1. a blood pressure monitor
- 3. the muscle separating the two ventricles
- 5. low blood pressure
- 7. pumps blood to the body via the aorta
- 9. a blood vessel ghat carries blood away from the heart
- 10. a disease characterised by narrowing of the lumen of the Coronary arteries
- 11. receives deoxygenated blood from the body
- 14. a disease where fatty plaques cause narrowing of the arteries
- 16. pressure exerted by blood against the artery walls when the heart is contracting
- 17. blood pressure pressure exerted by blood against the artery walls when the heart is relaxed
- 19. the hearts pacemaker
- 20. blood vessels that supply the heart muscle with oxygen
Down
- 2. a technique of measuring the electrical impulses given out by the heart
- 4. a blood vessel that carries blood towards the heart
- 6. a resting heart rate below 60 bpm
- 8. receives oxygenated blood from the lungs
- 10. the blood vessels that have a wall one cell thick
- 12. a resting heart rate above 100 bpm
- 13. high blood pressure
- 15. ventricle pumps blood to the lungs
- 18. the structure that delays the electrical impulse between atria and ventricles
