The right ventricle pumps blood to the lungs.
The semilunar valves prevent backflow of blood into the ventricles of the heart. They close to ensure that blood flows in one direction only, from the ventricles to the arteries (pulmonary artery and aorta).
Atrial systole -- The atrium contracts, then the ventricle.
No, it flows from the Right Atrium to the Right Ventricle then to the Left Atrium to the Left Ventricle. Hope this helps!
When the atria contract, blood flows into the ventricles of the heart. Specifically, the right atrium sends deoxygenated blood into the right ventricle, while the left atrium sends oxygenated blood into the left ventricle. This contraction helps ensure that the ventricles are filled with blood before they contract and pump it out to the lungs and the rest of the body, respectively.
Diastole is the relaxation of the cardiac muscles after having contracted and pumped out the blood into the arteries.Systole is the contraction of the ventricles of the heart which pushes the blood out of the heart.
At diastole the muscles of the atria and ventricles relax and blood flows into the heart. Therefore the atria and ventricles and at rest together during diastole.
During atrial systole, the atria contract and push blood into the ventricles. Specifically, blood flows from the right atrium into the right ventricle through the tricuspid valve, and from the left atrium into the left ventricle through the mitral valve. This contraction helps to fill the ventricles with blood in preparation for ventricular systole.
To prevent the back flow of blood into the left and right atrium when the ventricles contract
The "beat" of your heart is the contraction of the right and left ventricles. The right atrium passes blood from the body into the right ventricle -- when the ventricle contracts, it forces shut the valve leading back to the atrium, and the blood is pushed into the pulmonary arteries that lead to the lungs. The blood returns from the lungs to the left atrium, and flows into the left ventricle. When the left ventricle contracts, the blood is pushed out of the ventricle into the aorta, the body's main artery, to be carried through the arterial system to the various parts of the body.
