The heart
Across
- 4. carries deoxygenated blood from the body to the heart
- 5. this seperates the two sides of the heart
- 7. blood passes into this chamber before being pumped out through the aorta at high pressure
- 8. thin tissue that prevents the blood from flowing backwards between chambers and blood vessels
- 11. blood passes into this chamber before being pumped out into the pulmonary artery and the lungs
- 13. carries oxygenated blood from the heart to the body
- 14. first branch of the aorta that provides oxygenated blood to the cardiac muscle
Down
- 1. thin tissue that prevents the blood from flowing backwards between two chambers
- 2. carries oxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart
- 3. the cells will contain lots of mitochondria to provide energy and they are myogenic (contract itself)
- 6. carries deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs
- 9. oxygenated blood from the lungs enters this chamber
- 10. Deoxygenated blood in the vena cava passes into this chamber under low pressure
- 12. these insert into the ventricle wall, are very tough and prevent the valves from turning inside out
