What describes the next step after the blood has traveled from the heart to the toes?
The blood returns to the heart through veins.
What describe the blood flowing in an artery?
It moves away from the heart
Does the left atrium have thinner walls than the right atrium?
The left side of your heart is much stronger than the right because the blood that's in the left side of the heart needs to be pumped all over the body. Note also that blood that is pumped from the other side only needs to go to the lungs and there is not a huge distance from the heart to the lungs. The heart is a organ that pumps blood all over the body. The right side receives blood (low in oxygen) from all over the body. The left side receives (oxygen rich) blood from the lungs. When blood is pumped all over the body, it loses its oxygen. After being pumped to all parts of the body, it returns to the heart and enters the right atrium and right ventricle. The blood is then pumped to the lungs and returns to the heart (this time on the left side). This blood (now rich in oxygen) flows all over the body. It looses its oxygen again and enters the heart on the right side and is then pumped to the lungs. Then the cycle starts again and again.
What best describes the blood flowing in an artery?
It is oxygen rich - APEX
Is the apex of he heart superior or inferior to the rest of the heart?
The apex of the heart is inferior to the rest of the heart. The base is superior to the rest of the heart.
How do you trace blood from the left coronary artery to the apex of the heart and back to the right atrium?
A person can trace the blood flow from the left coronary artery to the apex of the heart and to the right atrium, by following inter ventricular artery. Blood also will move through the pulmonary semi lunar valve.
How do you trace blood left coronary to apex of the heart and back to right right atrium?
Generally speaking, the Left Coronary Artery flows to the Anterior Inter-ventricular Artery, which is located at the Apex of the heart. It then De-oxygenates in the capillary beds where it flows to the Great Cardiac Vein.Finally blood flows to the Coronary sinus which immediately enters the Right Atrium.
What is the function of the apex in a heart?
The apex of the leaf is the tip or end farthest from the base or point of aattachment; the growing tip of a branch.
The base of the heart is its blank surface?
Is it's posterosuperior surface. Made up of the left atrium for the most part, and also a bit of the right atrium. The left ventricle makes up the apex.
Which artery supplies blood to the apex of the heart?
LAD
Top chambers of the heart?
There are two chambers at the top. There is one above each ventricle. They have been given the name atrium which means a room that leads to a larger room. The one on the right side of the heart is called the right atrium and the other is the left atrium. The ventricles are called the left and right ventricles.
What describes the next step after the blood has traveled from the heart to the toes?
The blood returns to the heart through veins.
Which heart chamber is mainly at the base of the heart?
The heart is approximately conical in shape. It is well tilted that its apex is directed forwards, downwards and to the left and the base directed upwards and backwards. The apex is mainly formed by the left ventricle while the base is mainly posterior part of left atrium.
Which best describes the blood in a vein?
it moves toward the heart <apex>
What describe the blood flowing in an artery?
It moves away from the heart
What are function of SA nodes?
There is only one SA(sinoatrial) node. It is located by the right atrium of the heart. it initiates the nerve impulse which travels through both atria to initiate atrial contraction. Then the impulse travels to the AV(atrial ventricular) node. the nerve impulse travels through the intraventricular septum to the apex of the heart, where it initiates the contraction of the ventricles(starting from the apex and squeezing the blood up and out of the arteries).
