Right Ventricle.
The blood movement pattern is:
Right Atrium-> Tricuspid Valve -> Right Ventricle -> Pulmonic Valve -> Pulmonary Artery-> Lung -> Pulmonary Vein -> Left Atrium -> Bicuspid Valve -> Left Ventricle -> Aortic Valve -> Aorta

After blood leaves the heart through what kinds of vessels in what order does blood move?
larger blood vessels called veins which carry the blood back to the heart
Do artreies always carry 02 rich blood?
Not always. The pulmonary artery and the pulmonary vein reverse the general roles of O2 rich and poor blood. The pulmonary artery carries O2 poor blood to the lungs and the pulmonary vein carries O2 rich blood back to the heart in order to be sent to the rest of the body.
Why is mixing of oxgenated blood and deoxygenated blood not possible as blood flows through the heart?
Oxygen-rich blood is transported in arteries and oxygen-poor blood is transported in veins, which are distinct collections of blood vessels and never meet. The oxygen in oxygen-rich blood diffuses through cell walls and powers the metabolism of cells, leaving oxygen poor blood behind to be collected by veins and transported to the heart and lungs for reoxygenation.
What happens to the air pressure when inhalation?
When the diaphragm contracts the lungs are pulled down. This creates space in the lungs for air to rush in because air pressure is greater outside the body than inside the body. So in order to reach an equilibrium the air outside rushes into the lungs when you inhale. To my little knowledge of the body,the lungs collapse on exhaling and expand on inhaling.As the brain controls everything,except the heart, the heart has cells which can think for itself.If the brain stopped functioning,the heart can still beat as long as it has oxygen in the lungs.As soon as the air is used up the heart will eventually stop.When you sleep your heart keeps the lungs inhaling and exhaling to maintain life until you awake.Then the brain goes into a rest period and just gives the heart and lungs a slight electric shock to keep them going. If Im wrong here please let me know.
What two nutrients are transported in the blood?
Oxygen is transported in the blood ,specifically in the red blood cells, with the help of hemoglobin. The blood is also the primary transporter for your bodies hormones. for example, insulin is released by the pancreas in order to lower your blood sugar. In order to reach all parts of your body the insulin is dumped into your blood which carries to every last inch of you.
How would you describe the heart's ventricles?
The cardiac ventricles are the two lower chambers of the heart's four chambers. They are larger and more narrowed than the atria. They function by collecting the blood that flows into them from the atria and then contract in order to expel blood into the peripheral tissues, using major vessels to carry it to the extremities and lungs.
What is the connection between a heart and the circulatory system?
The right side of your heart pumps blood to the lungs where oxygen diffuses into the blood, the oxygenated blood is then pumped to the left side of the heart which pumps it to the rest of the body to be delivered to tissues. If the was an infarction (heart attack) That means the blood flow was blocked, the heart tissues almost immediately begins to die and is unable to keep pumping that blood to the lungs in order for the oxygen to be distributed to the rest of the body.
What organ must blood go through in order to come back to the heart oxygenated?
Your heart gives oxygen to blood cells, then those carry oxygen throughout your body, and when they reach your heart again, it refills them with oxygen.
Why does the heart pump blood to the lungs?
heart pumps blood to the lungs for oxygenation.
How does the pulmonary vein differ from the other veins in the body?
The pulmonary vein is the only vein that carries oxygenated blood. Arteries are the major oxygenated blood carriers (away from the heart) veins carry blood back to the heart. The pulmonary vein returns blood from the lungs to be distributed by the heart and arteries.
What does the heart muscle need in order to function?
Your heart needs blood, oxygen, and energy to function!!!!!!!!
Does the term blue blood refer to the blood in the arteries?
No. Veins, have the deoxygenated blue blood. they travel throughout the body to the lungs in order to oxygenate the blood and turn the blood red. Th red blood travels through the heart and out in to the arteries.
Do veins collect plasma?
No they do not. "Veins" are in fact, the blood vessel that moves blood to the heart so that it can get moved to the lungs in order to gain oxygen. "Arteries" are the blood vessel that moves blood away from the heart so that way the various body parts can gain that oxygen to do there thing.
Are the lungs a part of the order of blood flow?
no
Why does the blood from the different parts of the body enter the heart?
The blood from the different parts of the body enters the heart through veins in order to be pumped/circulated. First through the lungs to be oxygenated and then back to the body where it can deliver the oxygen. Starting at the heart, freshly oxygenated blood is pumped to the body where the oxygen is used up by muscles etc., and the deoxygenated blood then returns to the heart. It is then pumped to the lungs where it absorbs oxygen from the air you breathe, and finally it is pumped back to the heart and the cycle begins over again.
What is order that blood enters the heart?
Blood enters the heart from the systemic circulation in the right atrium, and then moves to the right ventricle. From there, blood is pumped into the pulmonary circulation. When the blood returns from the lungs, it enters the left atrium, then left ventricle, then is pumped to body tissues via the systemic circulation.
After blood cells leave the heart what kind of vessels and in what order does it move?
There are two blood vessels that take the blood away from the heart. The PULMONARY ARTERY takes deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs to get oxygenated, and the AORTA which takes oxygenated blood from the heart and distributes it to the body.
