Describe the skeleton of the heart?
Quote from Wikipedia:"Cardiac skeleton (sometimes called "fibrous skeleton of the heart") refers to the structure of dense connective tissue in the heart that separates the atria from the ventricles. It is not a "true" skeleton, but it does provide structure and support for the heart, as well as isolating the electric charges that go through the heart by slowing them down enough to allow the atriums to contract before the ventricles so that the heart is much more efficient. It also allows the valves (bicuspid, tricuspid, semilunar) to keep open by giving them structural support."I do wonder why you didn't google it though...
Does a cabbage have tap roots or fibrous roots?

Do the valves in the heart prevent the blood from flowing backwards?
That is so true! In fact it is the function of the heart valves.
What about the other parts of the heart are they muscles too?
No. The heart is an organ. Organs are made of more than one tissue. The valves of the heart are made of strong connective tissues. They are so strong and large they form what is called the skeleton of the heart and helps to give it shape.
What is the function arteris?

What is the function pulmonary arteries?
The pulmonary arteries deliver blood to the lungs from the heart so it can be oxygenated.
What is pulmonary function deficit?
Pulmonary Function refers to the functions of the heart. And a deficit means lacking, or falling short. So a pulmonary function deficit means that the heart isn't quite up to scratch. If your heart only managed to pump 40 litres of blood per hour instead of the average 80 (example figures, don't quote me on those), then you could say that this example heart has a pulmonary function deficit.
