Across
  1. 3. the amount of blood pumped out of each ventricle in one minute (HR x SV)
  2. 6. material pressure that the heart is pumping against
  3. 7. a blood vessel that carries blood from the heart to tissues and organs in the body
  4. 12. the sound the closure of the pulmonary and aortic valves makes
  5. 14. "pacemaker" , controls the electrical impulses which cause contraction
  6. 15. the sound the closure of the AV valves makes
  7. 17. the largest artery in the body, carries O2-rich blood away from the heart to the rest of the body
  8. 21. a large vein that carries blood to the heart from other areas of the body
  9. 22. the fibrous strand that connect the papillary muscles to the mitral and tricuspid valves in the heart
  10. 23. the two lower chambers of the heart, one one the right and one on the left
  11. 24. volume of blood in the ventricle before contraction
  12. 26. the phase of the cardiac cycle when the heart muscle relaxes and the heart's chambers fill with blood
  13. 28. carries oxygen poor blood to the lungs and back to the heart
  14. 29. the contraction of the heart muscle that forces blood out of the heart and into the circulatory system
  15. 30. rapid and irregular signaling contractions not controlled by SA node, fixed by defibrillation
Down
  1. 1. flaps that open and close to control the direction and flow of blood through the heart
  2. 2. transmits the stimulus to the ventricles
  3. 4. delicate blood vessels that exist throughout your body
  4. 5. Volume / beat
  5. 8. a tiny vein, one that collects blood from the capillaries
  6. 9. uncoordinated atria; and ventricular contractions
  7. 10. all of the events involved with the blood flow through the heart
  8. 11. caused by high pressure in the ventricle by itself
  9. 13. channels that carry blood throughout the body
  10. 16. carries oxygen rich blood from the heart to the rest of the body and back
  11. 18. beats / minute
  12. 19. delays the stimulus to the ventricles
  13. 20. any of the tubing that forms the part of the blood circulation system of the body, mostly carries O2 poor blood to the heart
  14. 25. the two upper chambers of the heart that receive blood from the veins and pump it into the ventricles
  15. 27. distribute stimulus to the myocardial cells
