- 4. muscular organ that pumps oxygenated blood throughout the body and deoxygenated blood to the lungs.
- 5. one of the two lower chambers of the heart, is responsible for pumping deoxygenated blood into the pulmonary trunk.
- 8. Common Injury to Circulatory System
- 9. one of the four heart valves, controls blood flow from the right ventricle into the pulmonary trunk.

- 19. moves blood between the heart and the rest of the body. It sends oxygenated blood out to cells and returns deoxygenated blood to the heart.
Down
- 1. supports pulmonary circulation by carrying deoxygenated blood from the right ventricle of the heart into the lungs for gas exchange.
- 3. accounts for just 1% of circulating blood but multiply during infection or inflammation.
- 6. This vessel ascends along the front of the vertebral column on the right side of the aorta.
- 7. return blood back toward the heart
- 10. makes up 2% of blood and helps stop blood loss
- 11. Composed of plasma and other matter
