Why do the walls of the heart get thicker during training?
Being muscle, the chambers of the heart may respond to the extra burden of training by becoming hypertrophied, or thicker. This is usually not a problem as long as the cardiac "compliance" (or flexibility) of the chambers is maintained. Age and certain medical conditions, as diabetes and arteriosclerosis, may cause the chambers to become stiffer.
What does insufficiency of a heart valve mean?
The valve does not close properly, which may lead to hypertrophy (enlargement) of the heart because blood will pool in the chambers.
What is it called when the upper chambers of the heart flutters?
Atrial Flutter. You may be thinking of atrial fibrillation, though.
How does blood defy gravity and circulate from your toes back up to your heart?
You may not know this but as well as pumping, your heart also sucks blood back into its' chambers like a vaccum which is how your blood gets returned to your heart.
What is the difference between a deer heart and a human heart?
Deer hearts are found in deer; and some shops. Human hearts are typically only found in humans.
How may chambers are in a heart?
The human heart has four chambers. Not all species have the same heart design.
The heart of a human contains how may chambers?
Four
How many heart chambers are in a mammal?
In the human heart, there are four chambers. Other mammals may vary.
How many receiving chambers and outgoing chambers does the human heart have?
The human heart has two receiving and two outgoing chambers. Without the proper functioning of all chambers, the heart may have problems.

Congenital heart defects usually involve the structure of the heart chambers and the heart valves?
Yes. Congenital heart defects are usually holes in the septum (the wall between the heart chambers) OR leaky/missing/fused valves. There are also defects where parts of the heart grow in the wrong place - the heart may be completely backwards or pathways to and from the heart are misplaced.
What does insufficiency of a heart valve mean?
The valve does not close properly, which may lead to hypertrophy (enlargement) of the heart because blood will pool in the chambers.

Atrial Flutter. You may be thinking of atrial fibrillation, though.
What parts of the heart are important?
While it may be a matter of opinion, all areas of the heart are important. The heart has four chambers. The right and left atria and the right and left ventricles. Some of the main blood vessels-arteries and veins-that make up your blood circulatory system are directly connected to the heart. The right and left sides of your heart are divided by an internal wall of tissue called the septum. The area of the septum that divides the atria (the two upper chambers of your heart) is called the atrial or interatrial septum. The area of the septum that divides the ventricles (the two lower chambers of your heart) is called the ventricular or interventricular septum. The two upper chambers of your heart are called atria. The atria receive and collect blood. The two lower chambers of your heart are called ventricles. The ventricles pump blood out of your heart into the circulatory system to other parts of your body. The picture shows your heart's four valves. Shown counterclockwise in the picture, the valves include the aortic valve, the tricuspid valve, the pulmonary valve, and the mitral valve.
What are the lower chambers of the heart?
they are the left and right ventricles.the two lower chambers of the heart are called ventricles. the two top chambers are called the atrium.The lower chambers of the heart are called ventricles.
What is the meaning of only a fool looks for logic in the chambers of the human heart?
This phrase suggests that trying to apply logic or reason to emotions and feelings is futile because the human heart is inherently complex and driven by intuition and gut instincts. Emotions are often irrational and can't always be understood or explained logically. Thus, seeking logic in matters of the heart may lead to confusion and frustration.
