A Light-Hearted Crossword
16
Heart : The organ that is misrepresented in the media with its crude shape. It is generally the size of your fist and the area where blood is pumped.
Septum : The thick wall of muscle that separates the left and right side of the heart.
Atria : The plural name for the top two chambers that fill with blood coming from either the lungs and body.
Ventricles : Plural for the bottom two chambers that pump out the blood to the body and lungs.
Mitral Valve : On the left side, this valve regulates blood to the left ventricle from the left atrium.
Tricuspid Valve : The valve on the left side regulating the blood flow between the right atrium and the right ventricle.
Aortic Valve : This valve releases oxygenated blood from the left ventricle into the aorta finally being distributed into the body.
Pulmonary Valve : This valve regulates blood going to the pulmonary artery from the right ventricle to get oxygenated.
Aorta : This blood vessel takes oxygenated blood from the left ventricle and distributes it throughout the body.
Superior Vena Cava : The veins from the head and upper body feed their deoxygenated blood into this vein. One of two major veins that feed into the right atrium.
Inferior Vena Cava : The veins from the legs and lower torso feed into this vein. This is one of the major veins that feed into the right atrium.
Ventricular Fibrillation : is an immediately life-threatening arrhythmia (unusual rhythm) in which the heart's electrical activity and associated contraction become disordered and inefficient. It is characterized by fast, irregular activation of the ventricles and prevents an effective mechanical contraction.
Veins : Brings blood back after supplying the body. These blood vessels have thin walls due to low pressure to the heart.
Arteries : Takes blood away from the heart to the body. These blood vessels have thick walls due to the high pressure from the heart pumping.
Capillaries : Tiny blood vessels with thin walls that take the blood through tissues and muscles.
Cardiac Muscle : The muscle that makes up the heart. It never stops making it an involuntary muscle.
