The blood pressure gradient from the aorta to the capillaries is greater than the blood pressure gradient from the venules to the right atrium?

True


What comes out of the left atrium?

after left atrium aorta originates. From aorta the oxygenated blood is supplied to the whole body.


How would the improper fuctioning of the vale between the left atrium and ventricle affect the movement of blood throw this area of the heart?

The Mitral Valve is in between the left atrium and the left ventricle of the heart. Oxygenated blood is pumped from left atrium to the left ventricle through that valve, mitral valve, then to the whole body through the Aorta artery. So problems with this valve may make the blood go back to the atrium during the contraction of the ventricle and this leads to decrease of the pressure of blood and the amount of it to the Aorta. This can affect the whole body.


Is the blood pressure gradient from the aorta to the capillaries greater than the the blood pressure gradient from the venules to the right atrium?

Yes, the highest in the aorta and larger elastic arties, and decreses as the arteries branch and blood travels farther from the heart.Blood pressure drops significantly in the arterioles and steadily decreses through capillaries, venules, and veins, and drops to zero in the right atrium.


Coronary perfusion pressure?

the difference between aortic diastolic and right atrial diastolic pressure; a determinant of the blood flow to cardiac muscle.


Where blood flows when it leaves the right atrium?

The Aorta


Which aorta pump blood to left ventricle ascending aorta or descending aorta?

Blood goes in this order... Right Atrium -> Right Ventricle -> Lungs -> Left Atrium -> Left Ventricle -> Ascending Aorta -> Descending Aorta. So neither pump blood to the the Left Ventricle but the Left Ventricle pumps blood to the ascending aorta.


What veins connect to the aorta?

The heart pumps blood from the left ventricle through the aortic semilunar valve into the Aorta.


What major veins carrys blood to the right atrium?

aorta


Where is blood pumped after it goes through the left atrium?

LEFT ATRIUM > Left ventricle > Aorta > rest of the body


Blood flows from the left ventricle of the heart to the general circulation through the what?

Deoxygenated blood (from the body) enters the right atrium of the heart through the VENA CAVA; whereas, oxygenated blood (from the lungs) enters the left atrium of the heart through the PULMONARY VEIN.
