Clues

  • circulation that supplies blood to all parts of the body except to the lungs. (8, 11)
  • constriction of blood vessels, which increases blood pressure (16)
  • increased size and strength of the heart muscles (7, 11)
  • is the distribution of blood to working muscles around the body (8, 5)
  • Purkinje fibres allow the heart’s conduction to create synchronized contractions of its ventricles, and are therefore essential for maintaining a consistent heart rhythm. (8, 6)
  • results from the vasoconstriction of arterioles supplying organs such as the intestines, and vasodilation of the arterioles supplying the more active muscles with more blood. (5, 14)
  • the Atria fill with blood (both the Atrioventricular and semi-lunar valves are open). (6, 8)
  • the blood pressure (as measured by a sphygmomanometer) during the contraction of the left ventricle of the heart. (8, 8)
  • the blood pressure after the contraction of the heart while the chambers of the heart refill with blood. (9, 8)
  • the force exerted by the blood on the inside walls of the blood vessels. (5, 8)
