If blood entering the heart mixed with blood leaving the heart?
The heart has 4 chambers, the purpose of which is to send deoxygenated blood it receives from the body to the lungs, and to receive oxygenated blood from the lungs and to pump it all through the body. If through some problem the deoxygenated blood and oxygenated blood are mixed and sent out, then the % of oxygenated blood will be lower. Your whole body suffers when you don't get enough oxygen. If a heart has the kind of problem that causes this, the body could be in serious trouble.
In which vertebrate does deoxygenated blood and oxygenated blood get mixed?
Amphibians
What is the advantage of the heart as a double pump?
Firstly ,Heart pumps deoxygenated coming from body, to the lungs and then the deoxygenated blood turns to oxygenated inside the lungs and after that it comes back to heart . After this, heart again pumps those oxygenated blood coming from lungs, to the body parts .So iIf there would be only one pump system then heart would be as hollow and all the deoxygenated and oxygenated blood would be mixed up inside the heart.
Why do oxygenated blood and deoxygenated blood not get mixed up inside the heart?
Oxygenated and deoxygenated blood do not get mixed up inside the heart because the heart was designed to keep these separate. This is why the heart is so complex.
Why is mixed venous blood sample monitored?
Because that is where all of the venous blood runs through just before it enters the lungs and becomes re-oxygenated. So it is the most mixed up venous blood in the body.
Why is a four chambered heart the most effecient arrangement for very active animals such as birds?
In the four chambered heart all the blood is oxygenated. In the three chambered heart the oxygenated blood is mixed in with the un-oxygenated blood and is therefore not as effective as an oxygen carriers.
What do you think would happen if the blood entering the heart mixed with the blood leaving the heart?
if blood entering the heart gets mixed with blood leaving the heart the the blood leaving the heart will get poluted. the blood entering the heart is poluted when it enters the heart, the heart cleans it up; so when the blood leaves the heart it is clean so if it gets polluted the person may get sick and this leads to his/her death.
Why human heart is made up of four chamber?
so that the oxygenated and unoxygenated blood did not mixed with each other
Where is the blood in the heart going to?
Blood goes into the right side of the heart from the body then pumped to the lungs for purification( this is when oxygen is mixed with haemoglobin( a substance in the body) to make the blood cleaned, it is then pumped to the left side of the heart were it is transported to every part of the body, then the circulation starts all over again.............
What is the advantadge of a four-chambered heart?
A four chambered heart is a closed system and ensures that all blood passing through it is oxygenated. A three chambered heart has both oxygenated an non-oxygenated blood mixed in the single ventricle therefore the blood is only half oxygenated. A three chambered creature would suffer from exhaustion long before a four chambered creature.
How is oxygendistrubuted to the different areas of the body?
Oxygen is inhaled to the lungs were a cleaning process occurs. The oxygen is mixed into the blood stream and this is carried by the blood flow around the body. Designated blood returns to the lungs for the cycle to restart
The heart appears to be divided in half with two separate sections for receiving and pumping blood from where does each half receive blood to where does each half pump blood?
The first set of blood that comes in to the first half of the heart (the right half) is blood coming from the rest of the body (such as muscles, brain, other organs etc.) This set of blood does NOT have oxygen as the body has already used it up. Such blood is said to be deoxygenated.Now, you don't want to pump this blood back round again because it does not have any oxygen in it so you want it to go to the LUNGS where it can become reinfused with oxygen.So the right half of the heart will pump that first set of blood to the lungs and then it will return to the second part of the heart (the left half) as oxygenated blood. You don't want it returning to the first half because then it will get mixed with the deoxygenated blood.Now this second half of the heart will pump the oxygenated blood to the rest of the body to meet the body's demand for oxygen. So one of the reasons it's in 2 halves is to separate the oxygenated blood from the deoxygenated blood so that the two types of blood don't mix.Now, you might be asking the question. Well, why doesn't the heart just pump the blood to the lungs AND to the body ALL IN ONE GO.Problem is pressure.The lungs are relatively weak structures. If you wanted your heart to pump in one go so that all the blood reaches the lungs AND then reaches all parts of your body AND return back to the heart, that would require a LOT of force. That amount of force will rupture your lungs.So what happens is that the blood that is pumped from the first half to the lungs, is pumped with a much lower force than the blood that is pumped from the second half. That protects your lungs from becoming damaged.new answerThe first set of blood that comes in to the first half of the heart (the right half) is blood coming from the rest of the body (such as muscles, brain, other organs etc.) This set of blood does NOT have oxygen as the body has already used it up.

The amount of energy released will be really less as there wont be much O2 , if only de oxygenated blood moves continously in our body no enery will be released thats why the lungs are present where the conversion of De Oxygenated blood gets converted into pure / oxygenated blood so i can produce energy and yes if both mix up the impurities will also lead to some problem . like urin when collected in the urinary bladder gets acidic when more and more impurities get collected , almost the same thing happens here also .
