Clues

  • a part of the autonomic nervous system that speeds up heart rate (11, 6)
  • occurs when arteries Harden and narrow as they become clogged up by fatty deposits (15)
  • relays the impulse between the upper and lower sections of the heart (16, 4)
  • sensory nerve endings in the muscles, tendons and joints that detect change in muscle movement (14)
  • the most important part of the brain as it regulates processes that keep us alive such as breathing and heart rate (7, 9)
  • the narrowing of the blood vessels to reduce blood flow into the capillaries (16)
  • the percentage of blood pumped out by the left ventricle per beat (8, 8)
  • the pressure in the arteries when the ventricles are relaxing (9, 8)
  • the thickening of the muscular wall of the heart so it becomes bigger and stronger; also can mean a larger ventricular cavity (7, 11)
  • tiny structures in the carotid arteries and aortic arch that detect changes in blood acidity caused by an increase or decrease in the concentration in carbon dioxide (14)
