  • Blood circulates from the heart to the body tissues and returns to the heart (8, 11)
  • Group of cells sensitive to changes in blood acidity (14)
  • Small mass of cardiac muscle, found in the wall of the right atrium that generates the heartbeat (4, 6, 4, 3)
  • Specialised nerve fibres found in the ventricles (8, 6)
  • The mechanism that return blood to the heart (6, 6)
  • The proportion of blood in the left ventricle pumped out each beat (8, 8)
  • The reduction in resting heart rate that accompanies training (11)
  • This name given to the idea that the heart generates its own contraction from within itself (9)
  • Volume of blood leaving the left ventricle per beat (6, 6)
  • Volume of blood leaving the left ventricle per minute (stroke volume x heart beat) (7, 6)
