contraction and relaxation of the heart muscles
Allows for organism movement (skeletal muscles) or organ movement (cardiac muscles, smooth muscles of the gastrointestinal tract) Generates heat (in endotherms) Allows for blood to return to the heart after it has flowed to the extremities (by squeezing the veins when they contract)
contraction and relaxation of the heart muscles
upper chambers of the heart
coranary circulation
Veins are responsible for the movement of deoxgenated blood from the heart
The movement of electrical impulses in the heart coordinates the contraction of its chambers. The impulses initiate the contraction by stimulating the muscle cells, causing them to contract in a coordinated way. This results in the rhythmic pumping action that drives blood flow through the heart and to the rest of the body.
The heart is protected by the cardiac muscle which is an involuntary muscle that allows the heart to pump blood.
When your heart beats it moves blood and the movement of blood is ur pulse
lymph
the valves
As skeletal muscles contract, blood is forced along the veins to the heart.
The heart pumps blood through the body via the cardiovascular system. Blood allows for transfer of nutrients and waste to and from cells in the body.
