the contractions of the heart push the blood through vents, which close after the blood has passed to prevent back flow. these vents are also in Arteries.

DO THE RIGHT VENTRICLE PUMPS BLOOD TO THE BODY?
responsible for pumping deoxygenated blood to the lungs
What is actually going on when the heart is pumping?
The heart is a muscle, which expands and contracts. Also, its valves open and close so that blood gets pushed the right direction with each pump.
Why is it logical for the right side of the heart to have deoxygenated blood?
Cause the right side is the part pumping venous blood to the lungs.
How can you tell that the heart is pumping blood in your body right now?
That your still alive.
How can you tell that is your heart is pumping blood in your body right now?
You're not dead.
What structures of the heart keep blood flowing in one direction.?
One directional valves keep blood in the heart flowing in the right direction. There are three valves: biscupid valve, semilunar valve and tricuspid valve. These open to let the blood flow through then close to prevent the blood flowing back in the wrong direction making the heart less efficient.
Which vessel of the heart receives blood during the right ventricular systole?
Right ventricular systole is pumping blood into the PULMONARY ARTERIES just as left ventricular systole is pumping blood into the AORTA -- both at the same time.Source: http://library.med.utah.edu/kw/pharm/hyper_heart1.htmlIn right ventricular systole, the blood enters the pulmonary trunk before proceding into the pulmonary arteries.
What is the of the septum separating the left and the right ventricle?
It keeps the oxygenated blood and deoxygenated blood from mixing.
What happens with the right atrium?
The function of the right atrium is to receive deoxygenated blood from the body circulation. It then assists with filling the right ventricle through its pumping action.
What do the right and left ventricle do?
The ventricles are chambers of the heart. They are involved in pumping blood out of the heart through the circulatory system.
How do the valves control the flow of blood through the heart?
The flow of blood in the heart is determined by the pressure differences between the chambers. If there is no pressure difference, there will be no flow. The valves control the direction of flow.
Why do you have valves in your heart?
To Keep the blood moving in the right direction
