What is the function of the AV valve?
AV valves stop the back flow of blood from ventricles to atrium during ventricular systole
Who comes first atrial systole or ventricle systole?
Atrial systole -- The atrium contracts, then the ventricle.
Where does ventricular systole blood flow into?
The Aorta
Does the systematic circulation flow to the left atrium?
Yes, blood from both the inferior and the superior vena cava flow into the right atrium. Blood from the pulmonary veins coming from the lungs flow into the left atrium.
Working model of heart?
Heart is myogenic , it can pump by itself without help of brain . 1. Arial diastole (relax) - atrial muscle relax , pressure decrease, blood enter atrium 2. Atrail systole (contract) - atrium pressure increase, blood enter venticle . 3. Ventricular systole - blood enter ventricle , delay for 0.1s . ventricle pressure increase, semiluna valve open , blood flow into vessels . 4. Ventricular diastole - ventricle mucle relax , prepare for next cardiac cycle .
What valve must close before blood will flow from the heart to the various body regions?
The atrioventricular valves close during systole, when the heart pumps blood out to the various body regions. The tricuspid valve closes to prevent backflow from the right ventricle to the right atrium, and the mitral valve closes to prevent backflow from the left ventricle to the left atrium.
Can blood go backwards from the right ventricle to the right atrium?
That is partly true, but thinking of atrial function only in this way is misleading. The right atrium has a job that is subtle and very important. The atria do not have valves at the 'intake' end, so there is not a push in the same way that ventricles push blood. When the right atrium is in systole, or contracting, the contraction is not strong; if it were it would cause back flow to the veins feeding the right heart. While the atrium contracts, the relaxing right ventricle is taking in blood from the atrium. But at the same time, blood is still flowing directly from the veins right into the right ventricle! Then when the ventricle is contracting and sending blood to the lungs, blood flow can continue unimpeded into the relaxing atrium. So the atrium's job is really to prevent inertia of blood during the beating cycle; it helps the blood to keep moving without coming to a jolting stop during each beat.
Where does the blood flow from when it enters the tricupsid valve?
Right atrium
Is the blood supply continuous to the heart whether the heart is in systole or diastole?
Yes it is,,,while one part of the heart is in systole (ie ventricles) the other part is in diastole (ie atrium) the blood is continually moving thru the body via the arteries and veins via the cardiac output. There is always a little blood left in the ventricles after Systole though.....
If the mitral valve prolapses where does the blood flow to?
If the mitral valve prolapses, the blood may flow backwards into the left atrium.
Why doesn't blood flow between the atrium's?
It doesn't flow between the atriums because there is a wall.
What is the name of backward flow of blood from the ventricle to the atrium?
aortic regurgitation
