Deoxygenated blood enters the right atrium via the vena cava, then passes through the tricuspid valve to the right ventricle. The blood is then pumped via this ventricle via the pulmonary arteries to the lungs to pick up oxygen. Oxygen-rich blood returns to the left atrium of the heart via the pulmonary veins and passes via the mitral valve to the left ventricle. This powerful pump then sends the blood through the aortic valve to the aorta and on to the entire body to nourish all living tissue and cells

∙ 14y agoheart have 2 work mechanism contraction and relaxation during relaxation blood enter the atium then atrium contract to push this blood into ventricles and each ventricle have a function: the right ventricle contain the blood rich with oxygen and this ventricle will pump it to aorta to deleiver oxygen to all body parts............. the left one include oxygen-poor blood and pump it to the pulmonary artery to the lungs................. from:jane

∙ 14y agoPulmonary Circulation Deoxygenated dark red blood is transported through the superior vena cava from above the diaphragm and inferior vena cava from below the diaphragm (both are veins) to the right atrium of the heart. The contraction of right atrium causes the blood to be passed to the right ventricle through the tricuspid valve. The tricuspid valve prevents back flow of the blood to the right atrium. The right ventricle pumps the blood through the pulmonary trunk (artery) to the right and left lung. The pulmonary valve located in the trunk prevents the back flow of blood to the right atrium. The scarlet red oxygenated blood enters the left atrium through pulmonary veins.
Systemic Circulation
The oxygenated blood is passed into the left ventricle through the mitral valve. The pressure in the left ventricle causes the mitral valve to close and the left ventricle pumps the blood the rest of aorta. The aortic valve prevents the back flow of blood from aorta.
Coronary Circulation
The shortest circulation in the body. Right and left coronary artery are arising from the base of the aorta and divides into marginal artery and circumflex artery respectively. The right and left arteries also divide into posterior interventricular artery and anterior interventricular artery respectively. These arteries supply the cardiac muscle with oxygen and uses 5% of the total blood supply.

Do valves inside the veins prevent blood from flowing into the heart?
The blood in veins is not under direct pressure from the heart. It has little valves inside to prevent blood from flowing backwards away from the heart. These valves inside the veins prevent the backflow of blood in veins. They encourage the one-directional flow of blood to the heart.
What prevents the back flow of blood inside heart during contraction?
The valves in the veins
Does blood keeps the heart pumping?
not entirely, if the blood flow stops,so does the heart, but the heart is mainly used to keep the blood flowing so it can get to different parts of the body. Electricity can keep a heart pumping if the correct amount of flow is being produced so blood can be replaced for the heart but cannot sustain a human body.
What is the major function of a valve in the heart?
Valves control the flow of blood. Without them blood could flow backwards.--------------------------Yes, true. Valve would maintain one way traffic for blood right from the heart and to outside parts of the body and form outside to the heart.
Do the aortic and pulmonary valves control the flow of the blood into the heart?
No, semilunar valves control the flow of blood out of the heart.
What makes the blood flow inside the tube or blood vessels?
Contractions and relaxation of heart chambers make the blood flow inside the tubes or blood vessel.
What makes the blood flow inside the tubes or blood vessel?
Contractions and relaxation of heart chambers make the blood flow inside the tubes or blood vessel.
How the human heart could compensate for flow rate changes to maintain blood pressure?
The human heart could compensate for flow rate changes to maintain blood pressure by setting the pace at which it beats and maintains blood flow. When a heart rate increases, blood pressure will rise, and when a heart rate decreases, blood pressure will drop.
BLOOD flow in one direction only inside the heart?
yes :)
What Valves inside the veins prevent blood from flowing from the heart?
The blood in veins is not under direct pressure from the heart. It has little valves inside to prevent blood from flowing backwards away from the heart. These valves inside the veins prevent the backflow of blood in veins. They encourage the one-directional flow of blood to the heart.
How blood flows inside your body?
The heart pumps blood rapidly, letting it flow through the body.
Do valves inside the veins prevent blood from flowing into the heart?
The blood in veins is not under direct pressure from the heart. It has little valves inside to prevent blood from flowing backwards away from the heart. These valves inside the veins prevent the backflow of blood in veins. They encourage the one-directional flow of blood to the heart.
What prevents the back flow of blood inside heart during contraction?
The valves in the veins
How do you use valve in a sentence?
The human heart has valves to prevent the reversal of the blood flow.
Valves inside the veins prevent blood from flowing where?
Heart valves help prevent blood from flowing backwards through the chambers of the heart. They open only one way to allow blood to flow through to the next chamber, and close against flow of blood from the other directon.
Where does blood flow after a heartbeat?
The human heart has 4 chambers. Blood with no O2 goes to the heart then is pumped to the lungs to receive O2 then the blood is sent back to the heart where it is then pumped to the rest of the body.
What are the dangers of blood clots?
Clots inside the blood vessels block the flow of blood to major organs and cause heart attacks and strokes.
