Where does the blood go next after it goes to the right atrium?
In the mammalian (and avian) heart, blood passes directly from the atria into the corresponding ventricles. So blood from the right atrium next enters the right ventricle.
Why do you think that the muscle of the left ventricle is thicker than that of the right ventricle?
The left ventricle has to pump blood through out the entire body. The right has to pump blood to the lungs which are really 'next door'.
Why does the left ventricle have a thick muscular wall?
The left ventricle pumps the most blood out of the four, the blood from the left ventricle travels all over the body. The left ventricle pumps the most blood out of the four, the blood from the left ventricle travels all over the body.
How does atria and ventricle work together?
the atria and ventricle work together as a team - the atria fill with blood, then dump it into the ventricle. The ventricle then squeeze, pumping blood out the heart, while the ventricle are squeezing, the atria refill and gets ready for the next contraction. so when the blood gets pumped ,how does it know which way to go?
Describe the path of blood flow through the heart?
Venous blood enters the heart through the superior and inferior venae cavae into the right atrium. From the atrium they exit the tricuspid valve into the right ventricular. The blood exits the right ventricle through the pulmonary valve into the pulmonary veins towards the lungs. Oxygenated blood returns through the pulmonary veins into the left atrium, Then, it enters the left ventricle through the mitral valve. From the left ventricle it passes through the aortic valve, and into the aorta.
In order to move from the right side of the heart to the left side of the heart blood must pass through what?
Blood circulation involves four heart chambers: It starts at the right atrium and then travels to the right ventricle. After the right ventricle blood travels towards the lungs to become oxygen rich and release Carbon-dioxide. After becoming rich with oxygen, the blood travels back to the heart and enters through the left atrium. It travels next through the right ventricle and then exits the heart through the aorta. This is where it goes it's separate directions to bring oxygenated blood to all of your bodily components.
How do you think the muscle thickness related to the function of the heart?
The right ventricle has thinner muscle, as it only needs to generate enough pressure to pump blood to the lungs (which are right next to the heart). The Left ventricle will have thicker walls because it needs to generate much more pressure to pump blood around the body.
What is the pattern of the blood flow?
After traveling through the body when blood returns to the heart.The blood first enters the right atrium. It then flows through the tricuspid valve into the right ventricle. When the heart beats, the ventricle puts pressure on the blood to push it through the pulmonic valve into the pulmonic artery. Next, the pulmonic artery carries blood to the lungs where it "picks up" oxygen, and leaves the lungs and returns to the heart through the pulmonic vein. The blood enters the left atrium, then descends through the mitral valve, into the left ventricle. The left ventricle then pumps blood through the aortic valve, and into the aorta, it is now pushed to the rest of the body.
What is the pattern of blood flow through a four chambered heart?
After traveling through the body when blood returns to the heart.The blood first enters the right atrium. It then flows through the tricuspid valve into the right ventricle. When the heart beats, the ventricle puts pressure on the blood to push it through the pulmonic valve into the pulmonic artery. Next, the pulmonic artery carries blood to the lungs where it "picks up" oxygen, and leaves the lungs and returns to the heart through the pulmonic vein. The blood enters the left atrium, then descends through the mitral valve, into the left ventricle. The left ventricle then pumps blood through the aortic valve, and into the aorta, it is now pushed to the rest of the body.
What types of blood vessels can be found from the left ventricle?
The blue blood enters through both the superior, and inferior vena cava. it is then goes to the right Atrium. The atrium sends the blood to the right ventricle, where it is next sent through a valve to the pulmonary artery, where it is sent to the lungs to be oxygenated. The blood comes back red through the pulmonary vein. It next goes to the the left atrium, and then to the left ventricle. Last, the blood travels to the Aorta, which is the largest vein in the body, and then gets pumped to the body, where later, comes back and repeats the process. The body is an amazing thing, but also a very confusing, and a complex thing. Hope I helped.
After the left ventrcle What is next?
The left ventricle pumps into the aorta which supplies blood to the rest of the body.
What are the directions that the blood travels through the heart?
Blood from the systemic circulation system is carried by way of the superior and inferior vena cava, both of which empties into the right atrium of the heart. Blood then passes through the tricuspid valve and enters the right ventricle. Next, the blood is pumped out of the right ventricle, through the pulmonary valve, and to the lungs via the pulmonary arteries. Blood gases are exchanged at the lungs as blood flows through the capillary beds of the alveoli. Blood flows back to the heart via the pulmonary veins and enters the left atrium. Blood from the atrium is pumped into the left ventricle through the mitral valve. Finally, Blood then leaves the left ventricle through the aortic valve and enters the aorta. The aorta once again begins the systemic portion of the circulation system and branches off into many arteries.
