The circulatory sysytem
Across
- 3. Between the left atrium and ventricle, prevents backflow.
- 4. Receives deoxygenated blood from the body.
- 8. Between the right atrium and ventricle, prevents backflow.
- 11. Small vessels for nutrient and gas exchange.
- 12. Supply the heart muscle with oxygenated blood.
- 13. The inner lining of blood vessels that controls exchange of substances between blood and tissues.
- 15. Drain deoxygenated blood from the heart muscle.
- 16. Largest artery carries blood from the heart to the body.
- 17. Controls blood flow from the right ventricle to the lungs.
- 19. Brings deoxygenated blood from the upper body to the heart.
- 20. Brings deoxygenated blood from the lower body to the heart.
Down
- 1. Between the right atrium and ventricle, prevents backflow.
- 2. Controls blood flow from the right ventricle to the lungs.
- 5. Fibrous cords that connect heart valves to the heart muscles, preventing valve prolapse.
- 6. The central organ that pumps blood throughout the body.
- 7. Receives oxygenated blood from the lungs.
- 9. Blood vessels that return de oxygenated blood back to the heart.
- 10. The wall that separates the right and left side of the heart.
- 14. Small arteries that regulate blood flow from arteries to capillaries.
- 18. Small veins that collect blood from capillaries and carry it to larger veins.
