Across
- 6. The ability to the heart to contract
- 7. The rate at which deoxygenated blood returns back to the heart
- 10. Can effect venous return when a person is standing
- 11. The amount of times your heart beats in a minute
- 12. Sum of factors which effect end - diastolic volume and fibre length of ventricles
- 13. X's law which describes the relationship between force of ventricle contraction and ventricle fibre length
Down
- 1. These are present during acidosis and are a negative inotrope
- 2. The pressure and length of these is what effects preload
- 3. Hormone which is a positive inotrope
- 4. Sum of factors which put pressure on ventricle walls. The load at which ventricles must pump against
- 5. Amount of blood pumped from the left ventricle every time your heart beats
- 6. The total amount of blood pumped from the heart
- 8. Pressure has to be lower in this vessel compared to the heart for blood to move out of the heart
- 9. Something that affects the force of contraction of the heart
