How would a weak heart affect the movement of blood through the body?

At rest, not at all. BUT there would be less of an increase in cardiac output during exertion - which results in quick fatigue and lowered (maximum) activity.

How does gravity affect your blood?
Gravity slows down the return of blood to the heart.
The movement of blood from legs toward the heart is slowed dowm by gravity the effect of gravity is counteracted by?
The valves in veins assist blood is the movement of blood from the legs. This is slowed by gravity.
What is the Circulation of the Blood?
"The circulation of blood through the body is often compared to a plumbing system with the heart as the pump and the veins, arteries, and capillaries as the pipes through which the blood flows."
How often does the total volume of blood circulate through the system'?
blood is pumped by a heart through vessels ....mean the volume of blood circulates faster (20 seconds in humans,
What part of the heart opens when blood is flowing through?
The part of the heart that opens when blood flows though is called the valve. There are four valves in the heart, two atrioventricular valves and two semilunar valves.
What affects the flow of blood through the heart?
things that could affect the blood flow through the heart
What is the regular wave like movement of the blood pumped by the heart through the blood vessel?
upper chambers of the heart
What organ pumps through the body?
the heart pumps through the through the body
What is movement of blood through the body?
moves from pulmonary veins to the left of the heart aorta
What causes the movement of blood through the veins?
The pressure your heart creates by pulsing, pumps blood through the veins
What is the direction of blood flow through the blood vessels?
it depends on the type of blood vessel if we say of veins so movement is in upward direction if we say about arteries so movement is downward.
What keeps the blood moving through the venous system?
Skeletal muscle movement and valves in the veins.
What is the movement of blood through vessels as a result of the heart's pumping action?
It's called the Circulation, as it is a flow from heart to lungs, back to heart, out around the body and back to the heart.
What does a normal echocardiogram show?
A normal echocardiogram shows a normal heart structure and the normal flow of blood through the heart chambers and heart valves
How would the improper fuctioning of the vale between the left atrium and ventricle affect the movement of blood throw this area of the heart?
The Mitral Valve is in between the left atrium and the left ventricle of the heart. Oxygenated blood is pumped from left atrium to the left ventricle through that valve, mitral valve, then to the whole body through the Aorta artery. So problems with this valve may make the blood go back to the atrium during the contraction of the ventricle and this leads to decrease of the pressure of blood and the amount of it to the Aorta. This can affect the whole body.
What allows the movement of blood in and out of the heart?
contraction and relaxation of the heart muscles
What effect does this have on the blood through the heart?
whe blood go's through the heart it get oxganated
