Circulatory System and muscles Crossword

carry oxygenated blood from the heart to the rest of the body.
carry deoxygenated blood back to the heart
the large artery leaving the heart that carries blood to other parts of the body.
the artery carrying blood from the right ventricle of the heart to the lungs for oxygenation.
a vein carrying oxygenated blood from the lungs to the left atrium of the heart.
left upper chamber
valve located between the left atrium and the left ventricle.
left lower chamber
the dividing wall between the right and left sides of the heart.
A large vein that receives blood from the head, neck, upper extremities, and thorax and delivers it to the right atrium of the heart.
right upper chamber
valve between the right atrium and right ventricle.
right lower chamber
A large vein that receives blood from the lower extremities, pelvis and abdomen and delivers it to the right atrium of the heart.
pain or discomfort in your chest, arm, neck, stomach or jaw that happens when the blood supply to your heart becomes restricted because of your arteries becoming narrowed
also known as myocardial infarction or MI - happens when the blood supply to part of your heart muscle becomes completely blocked.
If the heart’s pumping action can’t work effectively, your heart muscle can’t meet your body’s demand for blood and oxygen, and your body develops various different symptoms, like fatigue and shortness of breath.
If the electrical signals within your heart are interrupted or disturbed, your heart can beat too quickly, too slowly and/or in an irregular way
When the heart beat too quickly
When the heart beat too slowly
problem with the valves
network consisting of blood, blood vessels, and the heart. This network supplies tissues in the body with oxygen and other nutrients, transports hormones, and removes unnecessary waste products.
a pulsation of the heart, including one complete systole and diastole.
a short loop from the heart to the lungs and back again.
carries blood from the heart to all the other parts of the body and back again.
is a small area of tissue in the wall of the right atrium.
first phase of the heartbeat when the ventricles contract and pump blood into the aorta and pulmonary artery
second phase of the heartbeat when the atrioventricular valves open and the ventricles relax.
they connect the smallest arteries to the smallest veins
valve between the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery.
valve between the left ventricle and the aorta.
protective layer mostly made of connective tissue.
the muscles of the heart.
lines the inside of the heart and protects the valves and chambers.
Blood clot in the vein
Hardening of the arteries due to build-up of plaque in the walls of the arteries
Smaller veins that collect blood from the capillaries & return it to the larger veins
Lining that surrounds the heart
