Across
- 3. The smallest vessels in the Venous system.
- 4. Occurs when the Atria Contract and the Ventricles relax (bottom number of BP)
- 6. Return de-oxygenated blood to the Right Atrium, the largest vessels in the venous system
- 9. This artery that branches off the Aorta gives the heart blood supply
- 10. Fibers that branch throughout the lower section of the heart that distribute the charge to facilitate contraction of the ventricles.
- 11. This Ventricle pumps the blood into the Aorta (thick part of Heart)
- 12. This node of the heart is known as the "pacemaker" of the heart, initiates the electrical signal.
- 16. Narrowing of the vessels, usually due to a cholesterol build up
- 18. Carry blood Away from the heart
- 19. Closing of the Semi-lunar Valves
- 20. Red blood cell
- 21. Heart rate above 100BPM
- 22. Thickest vessel in the arterial system, comes directly OUT of the heart.
- 23. Strengthens Heart Muscle
- 24. MyocardialInfarction, Death of heart tissue (aka a heart attack)
- 26. Site where the blood drops off CO2 and picks up O2 in the lungs
- 27. Clotting factors.
- 30. Valve between the Left Ventricle and Left Atrium
Down
- 1. Separates the left and right sides of the heart
- 2. This ventricle pumps de-oxygenated blood to the lungs through the semilunar valve.
- 3. The lower sections of the heart.
- 5. The top sections of the heart
- 7. Where the Arterial and Venous systems meet, the site where O2 is dropped off and CO2 is picked up, "the marshlands"
- 8. Occurs when the Ventricles contract and the Atria relax (top number of BP)
- 13. A blood clot
- 14. Heart rate below 60BPM
- 15. Valves named due to their "moonlike" appearance
- 17. Contractions of these type of muscle force the blood up through the venous system
- 21. Valve between the Right Ventricle and Right Atrium
- 25. Carry blood TO the heart
- 28. Chest pain due to lack of O2 (blood flow) to the heart muscle
- 29. A dislodged blood clot that travels through the bloodstream, causes strokes and MI's frequently
- 31. Closing of the tricuspid and mitral valve
