Across
- 3. lower chambers of the heart
- 8. process of producing red blood cells
- 9. tough membranous sac surrounding the heart
- 10. hemorrhage can __________ cardiac output
- 13. valve located between the left atrium and ventricle
- 20. leukocyte that originates from myeloid stem cells but is agranular
- 21. join to form fibrin
- 22. releases erythropoietin
- 23. type of valve leading to aorta and pulmonary trunk
- 25. fibres that transmit signals VERY rapidly to ensure contractile cells all contract together
- 26. when blocked can cause malnutrition of the heart and potentially heart failure
- 27. top chambers of the heart
Down
- 1. constitutes most of blood
- 2. cells that have prominent cytoplasmic granules
- 4. enzyme involved in coagulation
- 5. hormone produced in the thyroid, increasing heart rate and cardiac output
- 6. inner lining of blood vessels
- 7. where action potential is from in cardiac contraction
- 10. process of ventricular filing
- 11. only pathway for action potential
- 12. receptors found in the aortic arch monitoring blood pressure
- 14. protein used for lipid transport
- 15. major event that occurs during vascular spasm
- 16. this vein carries oxygen-rich blood
- 17. otherwise known as white blood cells
- 18. end diastolic volume - end systolic volume
- 19. circuit involving gas exchange between blood and tissues
- 24. blood pressure is higher than osmotic pressure at this end
- 26. heart rate x stroke volume
