Does Air flows towards low pressure regions?
Air does generally flow from high pressure to low pressure.
What does it mean to have a low heart rate and high blood pressure?
A complication of a low heart rate or "Bradycardia" is high blood pressure.
What is the ultimate cause of a sea breeze?
A Low Pressure system. High pressure systems exist "by default"; meaning that high pressure systems occur everywhere that there are no low pressure systems.
Why is the human circulation called a double circulation?
With a double circulatory system, the heart can increase the pressure of the blood after the blood has picked up oxygen from the lungs. This means it can transport oxygen to the body tissues much quicker.
Would you expect high or low air pressure at the poles?
you would expect it to have high pressure
Is the left side of the heart is high pressure or low pressure?
The left side of the heart is part of a high-pressure circuit. The left side of the heart must pump blood throughout the body, requiring higher pressure than the pulmonary circulation.
Which type of blood vessel is blood at its highest pressure?
Pulmonary arterial system has high pressure but low oxygen concentration.
What happens when a high pressure system moves in where a low pressure system already is?
Typically the area between the systems gets high winds because of the differences in circulation such as a high pressure spins clockwise and low pressure system spins counter clockwise.
How are tornadoes related to air pressure?
Tornadoes produce very low pressure at their centers. It is this low pressure that pulls air inward and allows it to stay in the circulation at high speed once it enters.
How many actual pumps does the heart contain?
The human heart is comprised of four chambers, of which two -- the left ventricle and the right ventricle -- intake low pressure blood and outflow high pressure blood. The process of taking in a low pressure fluid at a given volume, and then sending out the same volume at a higher pressure, is "pumping". According to this logic, the heart contains *two* ventricular pumps, which use muscular contraction to raise the pressure of the blood. At a little more detail, the left ventricle pump sends high(er) pressure, oxygenated blood throughout the body -- brain, digestive system, limbs, etc. -- through the arterial circulation (arteries). The right ventricle pumps blood which has returned to the heart through the venous system (veins), which is depleted of oxygen, out to the lungs through the pulmonary circulation (this circulation is distinct from the body circulation in that the artery carries low-oxygen blood and the vein carries high oxygen blood). After oxygenation, the blood is returned to the heart through the pulmonary vein, making its way to the left ventricle and the arterial circulation to repeat the cycle. blah blah blah.... the left and right ventricles are the pumps so the answer is two
Does it move from an area of high pressure to low pressure or low pressure to high pressure?
A fluid will move from high pressure to low pressure.
The blood in the arterioles and arteries of the pulmonary circuit is high in and low in?
High in carbob dioxide and low in oxigen
What is the process of blood thew the heart?
Deoxygenated blood is returned through the veinous system to the heart. The superior and inferior vena cava terminate in the right atrium, which pumps the blood into the right atrium. From here it goes out the pulmonary trunk to the pulmonary arteries. It enters the lungs and exchanges the CO2 for O2. Oxygenated blood is returned to the left atrium via the pulmonary vein. It moves from left atrium to left ventricle, where it is pumped into the aorta and arterial network. The tricuspid valve operates between right atriuam and right ventricle. The pulmonary valve operated between the right atrium and pulmonary circulation. The mitral valve operates between the left atrium and left ventricle. The aortic valve operates between the left ventricle and systemic circulation. Remember: The systemic circulation is high pressure (~120/80), but the pulmonary system is comparitively low pressure (~20/5), as it has such a wide surface area of flow.
What condition cause deviations from the ideal gas?
High pressure, and low temperature.High pressure, and low temperature.High pressure, and low temperature.High pressure, and low temperature.
Would a cyclonic flow be high-pressure or low-pressure?
Low pressure - cyclone High pressure - anticyclone
Are hurricanes low pressure or high pressure?
Hurricanes are low pressure systems.
Is an anticyclone high pressure?
yes, anticyclones are high density and high pressure and cyclones are low density and low pressure
