Yes. For example, if the left ventricle fails, blood build up in the pulmonary system causing congestion. This in turns increase the workload of the right ventricle (harder to pump blood into the pulmonary system due to higher pressure) and eventually the right ventricle also fails.

What is a hyperdynamic ventricle?

A hyperdynamic ventricle is one that is characterized by an abnormal increase of muscular activity. This is common with the left ventricle in the heart which receives blood from the other parts of the body.


What condition exists when there is damage to the left ventricle and blood backs up into the lungs?

Pulmonary edema (fluid in the lungs) is one symptom of left ventricle failure, under the overall classification of "congestive heart failure," which also means the rest of the body does not get enough oxygen.

Which ventricle is thickest?

The largest ventricle of the brain are the lateral ventricles. In both of the brain's hemispheres there are c-shaped ventricles in the telencephalon.


Why are the walls of the ventricle thicker than those of the ventricle?

Do you mean that the left ventricle's walls are thicker than the right's? It's because one side has to pump blood only to the lungs, while the other side needs to pump blood to the entire body, and needs to be stronger.


What would happen if we had two-chambered heart (one atrium one ventricle with the vena cava entering the atrium and the aorta leaving the ventricle?

If humans had a two-chambered heart consisting of one atrium and one ventricle, the efficiency of blood circulation would be significantly reduced. Deoxygenated blood from the body would enter the atrium, mix with oxygenated blood from the lungs in the ventricle, and then be pumped out to the body through the aorta, resulting in a lower oxygen supply. This design would lead to less effective oxygenation of tissues and could cause fatigue and other health issues due to inadequate oxygen delivery. Overall, such a heart structure would not support the higher metabolic demands of complex organisms like humans.


what is the upper chamber?

The heart has two upper chambers. One of which being the right atrium which pumps deoxygenated blood to the right ventricle, and the other being the left atrium which pumps oxygenated blood to the left ventricle.


What is the view of umuofian society on success and failure?

In Umuofian society, success is valued and admired as it signifies power, wealth, and respect within the community. On the other hand, failure is often stigmatized and can lead to social exclusion and loss of status. Success is seen as a positive reflection of one's character and abilities, while failure is viewed as a personal shortcoming.


What the lower chambers of the heart?

one lower chamber of the heart is known as ventricle, in human there are two ventricals ...while in frog there is only one ventricle.


The mitral valve is also known aswhat other valve?

Bicuspid valve. It is situated between the left atrium and the left ventricle. It permits blood to flow one way only, from the left atrium into the left ventricle.


Can a person live with one ventricle?

As far as I know, a person can still live with a single ventricle. I had heard this from my classmates before.


What is the name of the valve present between the left auricle and the right ventricle?

The valve between the right auricle (or atrium) and right ventricle is the tricuspid. The one between the left auricle and ventricle is the mitral. There is no valve between the left auricle and right ventricle.
