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.

How does blood move from lower parts of your body to heart against th force of gravity?
It's forced upwards by the pressure of the blood behind it. Additionally, there are valves in veins and arteries to stop the blood flowing backwards (kind of like a door that only opens one way).
What happens to the air resistance as the parachute opens?
Air resistance will increase when the parachute opens, and the decent of the skydiver will slow down.
What are some examples of when water possesses kinetic and potential energy?
Kinetic Energy is dynamic energy - energy that is causing action, and when it comes to water (and other liquids) this action is usually associated with the concept of "flowing" in a certain direction. Some examples are:Water falling from high altitude.Water streaming (flowing) in a river.On the other hand, Potential Energy is passive energy - for the time being it does nothing but it can cause actionat any time, given the required triggering. Examples are:Water in a reservoir restrained by a dam, which is totally quite but will flow once the dam gates are open.Water in a high water storage tank on a building's rooftop that is not flowing but will flow as soon as someone opens the tap.

Compare the effects of gravity and air resistance on a falling skydiver before and after she opens her parachute?
-- The force of gravity is unchanged before and after.-- The force of air resistance on the skydiver is greater before, and less after,because she is falling slower after the parachute opens.-- The effect on her of air resistance is greater after the parachute is open. Theincreased air resistance itself acts on the parachute, and its effect is transferredto the skydiver through her harness.
What part of the heart opens to allow blood in?
The heart valves open when blood is flowing through. They close to prevent backflow.
What opens and closes to control the flow of blood in a one-way direction through your heart?
Various valves keep the blood flowing in one direction.
What is the function of the valves?
Valves prevent blood from going backward.Valves in general open to allow or close to prevent liquid flow. Heart valves opens to let blood into the heart then close to keep it there so that when the heart muscle contracts and squeezes the blood it is then forced out into the arteries of the body.
What is a blood valve?
Blood vessels, veins and arteries have valves in them to stop the blood flowing backwards through the circulatory system. They are like small 'gates' that only open one way (think of it like a door that only opens inwards but not outwards).

Function of pulmonary semilunar valve?
To regulate passage of blood from the right ventricle into the pulmonary arteries (leading to the lungs). The valve prevents backward flow back into the ventricle and opens only when the right ventricle generates enough pressure from its contraction to squeeze the blood past the valve into the pulmonary arteries
How do you explain the function of the heart valves?
enforce a one way blood flow through the heart chambersthe valves prevent the blood from going backwards. they keep the blood flowing forwards! we just dissected a heart in science today so i know for sure thats what they do :)
What strucures opens into the right atrium?
The vena cava opens into the right atrium. This vein carries blood from the systemic circulation back to the heart.
What Functions of the valves in the heart?
there is the bicuspid valve which opens up to allow oxygenated blood into the heart after the oxygenated blood has entered the heart, i closes to prevent flowback of the blood, then the semi lunar valve opens up which allows the deoxygenated blooto exit, and once it has exited, it closes for the same reason which is to prevent flowback. so basically it is to prevent the flowback of blood
Where does oxygen-rich blood return to?
Oxygen rich blood returning to the heart from via the pulmonary vein enters the left atrium from which it drains into the left ventricle. Upon ventricular contraction, the aortic semilunar valve opens and blood leaves the heart through the Aorta from which it is distributed to the rest of the body.

How do the heart valves assist in moving blood through the heart?
When your blood come back into the heart, it comes in through the right side. The first valve opens, allowing the blood to pass from the right atrium to the right ventricle, where it is then pumped to the lungs. The blood receives oxygen and brings it to the left atrium. Then, it passes through the other valve, to the ventricle, and out through the aorta. The valves allow blood to flow through the heart and are also the two sounds that your heart make. The lub-dub noise is the sound of the two important valves closing shut.
Why does the heart has valves?
Valves are the "doors" which allow the proper amount of blood into each ventricle of the heart so it does not "explode" or push too much into the body. When high blood pressure occurs the culprit can be a defective valve that is leaking or failing to open and close properly. Not many people have that type of high blood pressure. There are many types of high blood pressure which doctors can determine by listening to the valves in the heart or elsewhere.
