Across
  1. 1. (2) network of intertwined vessels formed by multiple capillaries
  2. 6. (2) thicker middle layer of a blood vessel
  3. 8. vessels that carry blood away from the heart
  4. 9. (2) artery located on thumb side of wrist where the radial pulse is detected
  5. 11. heart failure caused by infection & weakening of the myocardium (heart muscle)
  6. 14. (2) innermost layer of a blood vessel
  7. 18. (2) circulation of oxygen rich blood from left ventricle to the body and oxygen poor blood returns to the right atrium
  8. 19. microscopic arteries that connect with capillaries
  9. 23. occurs when the force of blood against the arterial walls remains elevated for an elevated period of time (high blood pressure)
  10. 24. (2) large venous channel between left atrium & left ventricle on the posterior side of the heart that empties into the right atrium
  11. 26. (2) extra or unusual sounds heard by a stethoscope during a heart beat. May be harmless or indicate heart valve problems
Down
  1. 2. (2) artery located at fold of elbow where the brachial pulse is detected
  2. 3. (2) condition known by severe constricting pain or sensation of pressure in the chest radiating down the left arm
  3. 4. (2) outermost layer of a blood vessel
  4. 5. sensation of rapid heartbeat
  5. 7. (2) artery located on the side of the neck, where carotid pulse is felt
  6. 10. small, thing walled vessels where O2 & CO2 gas exchange occurs
  7. 12. (2) circulation of oxygen poor blood from right ventricle, to the lungs & back to left atrium with oxygen rich blood
  8. 13. vessels that carry blood back to the heart
  9. 15. abnormal ballooning of a blood vessel, usually an artery, due to a weakness in the wall of the vessel
  10. 16. (2) curved portion of the aorta between the ascending and descending parts of the aorta
  11. 17. (2) hardening of the arteries
  12. 20. inflammation of the innermost lining of the heart, including the surface of the chambers & valves
  13. 21. smallest veins; connect capillaries to large systemic veins
  14. 22. inflammation of the myocardium, the middle layer of the heart (heart muscle)
  15. 25. sudden blockage of blood flow, or rupture of an artery in the brain, that causes brain cells to die from lack of oxygen
