The heart
Across
- 4. One of two large vessels that return deoxygenated blood to the right atrium of the heart
- 5. Pathway that carries oxygen-rich blood to the lungs and deoxygenated blood back to the heart
- 9. lower chamber of the heart which pumps blood into both the body and the lungs
- 10. lowest blood pressure released before the ventricles contract.
- 15. The force applied by the heart in pumping blood
- 16. Blood vessels that carry oxygenated blood away from the heart
Down
- 1. Pathway that carries oxygen-rich blood to the heart but also carries deoxygenated blood to the heart
- 2. A major artery that carries blood(oxygenated) to all body parts but the lungs.
- 3. Specialized muscle tissues that receive signals from sinoatrial node that in turn send their own signals to the ventricular causing them to contract
- 6. Pathway that carries oxygen-rich blood to the body and returns deoxygenated blood back to the heart
- 7. Blood vessels that carry blood back to the heart(usually contains large amounts of carbon dioxide)
- 8. Extension of a vessel that opens and closes so that fluid only goes one-way
- 11. Maximum blood pressure that can happen when a ventricular contracts
- 12. specialized muscle tissues that send out signals and cause the heart to make the "LUBB" "DUBB" sound.
- 13. one of the two top chambers of the heart that collects the blood that flows into the heart
- 14. Muscular wall that separates the two ventricles from the atriam.
