Across
- 2. Neutrophils : The most abundant of the white blood cells
- 3. Diastole : A period (between contractions) of relaxation of the heart during which it fills with blood
- 4. Erythrocytes : Red blood cells
- 6. Pericardium : The membranous sac enveloping the heart
- 8. : A condition in which the heart produces or is apt to produce a recurring sound indicative of disease or damage
- 10. Hypertension : Abnormally high blood pressure
- 11. : A white blood cell with secretory granules in its cytoplasm
- 12. Basophils : White blood cells whose granules stain deep blue with basic dye; have a relatively pale nucleus and granular-appearing cytoplasm
- 13. Leukocytes : White blood cell
- 16. : White blood cells with a one-lobed nucleus. no granules in cytoplasm
- 18. Eosinophils : Granular white blood cells whose granules readily take up a stain called eosin
Down
- 1. Hemoglobin : The oxygen-transporting pigment of erythrocytes
- 2. Systemic Circulation : Systems of blood vessels that carries nutrient- and oxygen-rich blood to all the body organs
- 3. : Stem cells that give rise to all the formed elements of the blood
- 5. Hemostasis : The stopping of a flow of blood
- 6. Plasma : The fluid portion of the blood
- 7. : A chamber of the heart receiving blood from the veins; superior heart chambers
- 8. Systole : The contraction phase of heart activity
- 9. : Large single-nucleus white blood cell;
- 10. Platelets : One of the irregular cell fragments of blood; involved in clotting
- 11. Lymphocytes : Agranular white blood cells formed in the bone marrow that mature in the lymphoid tissue
- 14. : Discharging chambers of the heart
- 15. Hematopoiesis : Formation of blood cells
