What does the heart term of tricuspid mean?
triscupid in terms of the heart is the value between your atrium and ventricle on the left side of your heart if you are facing it. it allows for blood to flow between the two chambers.
What are doors between chambers and allow blood to flow?
these doors are made of gold and mushroom powder
Why doesn't blood normally flow from the lower heart chambers into upper heart chambers?
The hearth valves only allow blood to flow one way.
What makes the blood flow inside the tube or blood vessels?
Contractions and relaxation of heart chambers make the blood flow inside the tubes or blood vessel.

How many heart chambers are in a lizard and which are the pumping chambers?
There are technically 3 chambers-- 2 atria and a ventricle-- but the ventricle is partially divided into 3 chambers the Cavum Arteriosum, Cavum Venosum, and Cavum Pulmonale. The ventricle is the pumping chamber.
The tricuspid valve is located between which two chambers of the heart?
Mitral valve lies between left atrium and left ventricle. It has got two cusps. So it is also called as bicuspid valve. It allows flow of blood from left atrium to left ventricle. The blood flow in reverse direction is prevented by the valve.
Why doesn't blood normally flow from the lower heart chambers into the upper heart chambers?
weLL..i dont know.. diS iS so haRd..
What are the 2 chambers of the heart?
The heart is divided by a partition or septum into two halves. The halves are in turn divided into chambers. The upper two chambers of the heart are called atria and the lower two chambers are called ventricles. The atria receive blood returning to the heart from the body and the ventricles pump blood from the heart to the body. Valves allow blood to flow in one direction between the chambers of the heart.
Are the chambers in the heart connected?
yes they are, only separated by small valves,which are there to prevent the backwards flow of blood
What part of the heart that allows the blood to flow in one direction?
the valves
What role do the heart valves have within the function of the heart?
Heart is a pumping muscle responsible for circulating oxygen-rich blood throughout your body. There are four chambers inside the heart: the two upper chambers are called atria and the two lower chambers are called ventricles. The heart muscle squeezes blood from chamber to chamber. The heart contains four valves, which open to allow blood to move forward through the heart and close to prevent blood from flowing backward. • The mitral valve allows blood to move from the left atrium into the left ventricle. • The aortic valve allows blood to move out of the left ventricle. • The tricuspid valve allows blood to move from the right atrium into the right ventricle. • The pulmonary valve allows blood to move from the right ventricle to the lungs. The valves ensure that blood flows in a single pathway through the heart by opening and closing in a particular time sequence during the cardiac cycle. When heart valves become diseased or damaged, they may not fully open or close. This can seriously impair cardiac function by causing blood to leak back into cardiac chambers or by requiring heart chambers to contract more forcefully to move blood across a narrowed valve.
