- 13. Large phagocytic white blood cell with a simple oval nucleus and clear, grayish cytoplasm
- 14. Main artery of the body that supplies oxygenated blood to the circulatory system
- 16. Process by which the cardiovascular system carries oxygenated blood away from the heart and returns de-oxygenated blood back into the heart

Down
- 1. Sounds during your heartbeat such as whooshing or swishing made by turbulent blood in or near your heart
- 3. Disease of the arteries in which the deposition of plaques of fatty material on their inner walls
- 5. Hollow part or cavity found in an organ
- 6. Colorless cell that circulates in the blood and body fluids that fights against foreign substances and disease
- 7. Sounds caused by turbulence caused by the closure of mitral and tricuspid valves at the start of systole
- 9. Sequence of events in the heart from the beginning of one beat to the beginning of the following beat
- 10. Process by which the cardiovascular system carries deoxygenated blood away from the heart and returns oxygenated blood back into the heart
- 12. Wall separating the lower chambers (Ventricles) of the heart
- 15. Pair of valves in the heart at the bases of the aorta and the pulmonary artery, consisting of three cusps that prevent the flow of blood back into the heart
- 17. Delivers de-oxygenated blood to the other corresponding lung
- 18. White blood cell that has coarse granules found in its cytoplasm
