Across
- 1. arteries that supply blood to the superficial portions of the right ventricle
- 5. lining the tunica intima throughout the entire vascular system and the chambers of the heart
- 7. forming part of the circulatory system, carrying deoxygenated blood from capillaries to a vein
- 11. circuit of arteries carrying blood low in oxygen to the lungs for gas exchanging
- 12. the first heart sound measured using a stethoscope (it is the sound created by the closing of the atrioventricular valves during systole.
- 15. (ventricular relaxation) is a period that occurs as the chambers of the heart fill with blood
- 16. the contraction of this muscle pumps blood through the heart and into the major arteries
- 22. atrium is the chamber of the heart that receives blood from the pulmonary circulation
- 23. signaling molecules that may function in hemopoiesis, inflammation, and specific immune responses
- 24. from this type the cell will originate all of the formed elements of blood
- 28. atrium is the chamber of the heart that receives blood from the pulmonary system
- 30. its primary function is to deliver oxygen and nutrients to and remove wastes from body cells
- 31. a valve located between the left atrium and ventricle (bicuspid valve or left atrioventricular valve)
- 32. ( ventricular contraction) is the period of contraction while the heart pumps blood into circulation
- 33. the smooth muscles located in the right atrium, right auricle, and left auricle
- 34. tiny connections between the coronary arteries to shunt a tiny amount of blood from one artery to another
- 35. a large artery by which blood leaves the heart and goes through the systemic circulation
- 36. the inferior chambers of the heart
- 40. the valves between the atria and ventricles
- 43. is a protein derived from fibrinogen responsible to form a blood clot in the coagulation process to repair a ruptured blood vessel
- 44. granular leukocytes that can migrate from the bloodstream to tissues as macrophages
- 45. the second heart sound measured using a stethoscope (it is the sound of the closing of the semilunar valves during ventricular diastole)
- 46. low oxygen levels in the blood causing inadequate oxygenation of tissues
- 47. blood plasma that does not contains clotting factors
Down
- 2. substances the body does recognize as foreign things (not belonging to the body) and trigger a defensive response from the white cells
- 3. ventricle is the heart chamber that receives deoxygenated venous blood from the right atrium
- 4. is the cycle whose period time is between the onset of atrial systole (atrial contraction) and ventricular diastole (ventricular relaxation)
- 6. producing blood cells to replace them
- 8. are sounds heard via auscultation with a stethoscope of the closing of the atrioventricular valves (lub) and semilunar valves (dub)
- 9. the anterior part of each atrium is a wrinkled, leaf-like extension
- 10. phagocytic cell ( a matured monocyte)
- 12. is a colorless, nucleated blood cell, whose main function is to protect the body from disease
- 13. is an overproduction of red blood cells
- 14. by which the body seals a ruptured blood vessel and prevents further loss of blood
- 17. which are proteins called immunoglobulins that attach to foreign things to produce a process called agglutination (clumping cells)
- 18. a fibrous sac and serous lining in which the heart is within
- 19. its location is at the thoracic cavity between the lungs and the mediastinum
- 20. ventricle is the heart chamber that receives oxygenated blood through the pulmonary veins
- 21. a valve situated between the right atrium and right ventricle (right atrioventricular valve)
- 25. the innermost layer of the heart wall made of endothelium
- 26. circuit of pulmonary veins returning fresh and bright red oxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart
- 27. key player blood cells in the hemostasis process
- 29. low percentages of oxygen in systemic arterial blood
- 36. a specialized structure located within the heart or vessels that ensure a one-way flow of blood
- 37. forming part of the circulatory system, carrying oxygenated blood away from the heart
- 38. veins that drain the heart and generally parallel the large surface arteries
- 39. return deoxygenated blood from systemic circulation to the heart
- 41. microscopic vessels where nutrients and wastes are exchanged
- 42. immature erythrocytes that may still contain fragments of organelles
