There is a right atrium (which receives unoxygenated blood returning from the body) and a left atrium (which receives oxygenated blood returning from the lungs).

Across: 1) System of glands that produce chemicals call hormones that help to regulate many body activities and functions. 3) The supply of oxygen and nutrients to and removal of wastes from the cells and tissues of the body as a result of the blow of blood through the capillaries. 6) Egg-producing organs within the female reproductive system. 9) The body system that regulates fluid balance and the filtration of blood. Also called the urinary system.11) The medial bone of the forearm.15) A sac on the underside of the liver that stores bile produced by the liver.16) The smallest kind of artery.20) A hormone produced by the body.

These two major veins return blood from the body to the right atrium. Singular: vena cava.39) Muscular sac between the esophagus and the small intestine where digestion of food begins. 43) The system made up of the heart (cardio) and the blood vessels (vascular); the circulatory system.47) The bone of the upper arm, between the shoulder and the elbow. 48) The two large sets of branches that come off the trachea and enter the lungs.
