What are the name of he snow hats with the ear flaps?
it's called a laplander
What is a synonym for 'tricuspid'?
Tricuspid valve (located between the Rigth Atrium and Right Ventricle in the heart) is also known as the Right Atrioventricular valve. The name "Tricuspid" indicates its structure, or form, as it has three flaps (or cusps), against the Bicuspid Valve (located between the Left Atrium and the Left Ventricle), which only has two. For more info see the related links.
What are the the tiny white cords that anchor the cusps or flaps of endocardium to the walls of the ventricles called?
Interventricular Septum
Do whales have ear flaps?
no
What flap of tissue keeps the blood flowing in the wrong direction?
These are valves, and are found in veins to prevent blood from flowing backwards.
How many flaps does the aortic valve have?
The antrioventricular valve has two valves. The bicuspid valve has 2 flaps and in located in the right ventricle/right atrium. The tricuspid valve has 3 flaps and is located in the left ventricle/left atrium.
How many flaps of tissue make up the valves between the right atrium and right ventricle?
The antrioventricular valve has two valves. The bicuspid valve has 2 flaps and in located in the right ventricle/right atrium. The tricuspid valve has 3 flaps and is located in the left ventricle/left atrium.
What are the flaps in the dryer called?
. . . flaps!
What is the flap on an aircraft wing called?
The flaps are simply called flaps.
Do the flaps of the aortic valve close when the ventricles squeeze so blood can't flow back into the atrium?
No. When the flaps of the aortic valve close, they prevent the flow of blood into the ventricle. The flaps of the atrioventricular valves close to prevent the flow of blood back into the atria.
The beating sound your heart makes comes from?
From the closure of the two flaps of the mitral valve in the left ventricle
Why are the valves at the start of the aorta called semilunar valves?
Because there are crescent shaped, like half moons :)
What are the flaps on an airplane called?
They are quite literally called flaps, and they make the plane go up, down, left and right.
What is the function of the chords attached to the valve flaps between the atria and the ventricle?
These chords are called the Chordea Tendinae. Their function is to stop the valves from invertung back into the atria. If they weeken and stretch they start to allow the valves to be pushed back into the atria, this is called floppy valve syndrome.
What are the flaps on a wing called?
winglett
What are the locations and names of all heart valves?
The tricuspid valve is between the right atrium and right ventricle.The pulmonary or pulmonic valve is between the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery.The mitral valve is between the left atrium and left ventricle.The aortic valve is between the left ventricle and the aorta.Between the right atrium leading into the right ventricle is an atrioventricular valve called the Tricuspid valve. It is named for the three flaps from which it is made. Between the right ventricle and the pulmonary veins is a semilunar valve called the Pulmonary valve. Coming in between the left atrium and the left ventricle is an atrioventricular valve known as the Mitral valve (the shape is similar to the mitres worn by bishops) then in between the left ventricle and the aorta is a semilunar valve called the Aortic valve.
Blood leaves the right ventricle then passes through a valve and enters what blood vessel?
through seminular valve at the time of ventricle contaraction blood from right ventricle is pumped to lungs.
