Across
- 2. inner layer continuous with the endothelia lining of the heart chambers and blood vessels
- 8. atrium that receives oxygen-rich blood from the pulmonary veins
- 9. universal blood recipient
- 11. middle layer that contains cardiac muscles and makes up the bulk of the heart wall
- 12. iron based protein that binds with oxygen and carbon dioxide so they can be transported in blood
- 13. hollow, muscular organ about the size of a clenched fist
- 14. ventricle that contracts to transport oxygen rich blood to the rest of the body
- 15. ventricle that contracts to transport oxygen-depleted blood into the pulmonary trunk
- 18. valves that are located between the ventricles and the aorta or the pulmonary truck
- 21. increase local blood flow
- 23. largest artery in diameter
- 24. Red fluid circulating through the heard and its vessels, and transporting products to and from the body cells
- 25. disorder of intermitted or sustained elevate blood pressure
- 27. presence of atherosclerotic plaque within arteries outside of the heart
- 28. cycle that is a sequence of events from the beginning of one heartbeat to the beginning of the next heartbeat
- 29. return blood to the heart
- 30. transports oxygens, nutrients, hormones and oxygen to the body cells and transports wastes away
- 33. functional unit of the cardiovascular system because this is where exchanges of gases, nutrients and wastes occur between blood and body cells
- 37. presence of plaque within arteries
- 38. number of cardiac cycles occurring in 1 minute
- 39. valve that is located between the right ventricle and the pulmonary trunk
- 41. heartbeats over 100 per minute
- 43. reduction in the quantity of either RBCs or their hemoglobin
- 44. chest pain from a temporary reduction of blood flow to the heart, usually from narrowed coronary arteries
- 46. sudden disruption of blood flow to the heart muscles or myocardium caused by an occluded blood vessel
- 48. occurs when the lumen becomes smaller or narrows
- 50. presence of atherosclerotic plaque within coronary arteries
- 51. valves that are located between the atria and the ventricles and have pointed flaps called cusps
- 52. space within blood vessels
Down
- 1. rate blood flows back to the heart
- 3. the body’s mobile army and serve as part of the body’s defense mechanisms by destroying or inactivating pathogens and foreign agents
- 4. blood cell fragments that help reduce blood loss from damage vessel walls by promoting hemostasis
- 5. arterial expansion
- 6. outer later of the heart contains fatty connective tissue and blood vessels
- 7. occurs when the lumen enlarges or widens
- 10. replenishes the bloods oxygen supply and eliminates gaseous wastes
- 15. periodic episodes of vasospasms in the fingers and toes
- 16. amount of pressure exerted by blood on vessel walls as the left ventricle of the heart contracts and relaxes
- 17. valve had three susps and is located between the right atrium and the right ventricle
- 19. vessels transporting blood away from the heart
- 20. refers to the inability of the heart to pump blood to meet the body’s demands
- 22. straw colored liquid in which blood cells are suspended
- 26. transport oxygen and carbon dioxide to and from body cells
- 31. inflammation of the veins
- 32. valve that has two susps and is located between the left atrium and the left ventricle
- 34. inflammation of deep vein with thrombus or blood clot formation
- 35. largest artery un diameter
- 36. Inferior chambers of the heart
- 40. contain trabeculae carinae within their walls to help them pump blood more efficiently
- 42. valves that is located between the left ventricle and the aorta
- 45. veins that are dilated
- 47. atrium that receives oxygenated-depleted blood from the superior and inferior vena
- 49. valve that is shaped like a mitre or bishops hat
