What makes heart valves open and close?
Valves in the heart close (or open) due to pressure changes in the 4 chambers of the heart. When blood flows into the heart through the pulmonary vein (oxygenated) the heart is in diastole so both the left atrium and ventricle fill. At this point, the bicuspid valve between the chambers is open. When the left atrium becomes full of blood, stretch receptors trigger a response from the SA node - this leads to a contraction of the left atrium (bicuspid valve forced open by pressure). The pressure then exerted from the left ventricle on the left atrium causes the valve to close. This prevents back-flow into the left atrium. When the left ventricle is full, the AV node sends an impulse down the Bundle of His, and to the Prukinje fibres. The left ventricle is subsequently "squeezed" causing blood to flow up the aorta and out to the body. When the heart is contracting like this it is in Systole. Similarly, valves in the aorta close due to the pressure of the blood (caused by gravity). This, again, prevents back-flow in the heart. A similar chain of events occurs in the right side of the heart.
When does the AV valve closes during the cardiac cycle?
Not sure how much detail ur looking for here... but basically this is what it is. The tricuspid valve is located between the right atrium (RA) and right ventricle (RV). When the ventricles (right and left) contract, they send blood forward into the arteries (RV to pulmonary artery to send blood to lungs for oxygenation, LV to the aorta to distribute oxygenated blood throughout the body). The purpose of valves is to prevent blood from backflowing. Since you asked about the tricuspid valve, it prevents blood going back up from the RV to the RA. Just in case you don't know the basic heart circulation... deoxygenated blood from the body comes into the RA from the superior and inferior vena cavae, and from the RA goes into the RV. Between these two is the tricuspid valve, and when the RA contracts, blood gets pushed into the RV. When the RV contracts to push blood into the pulmonary artery, the tricuspid valve snaps shut in order to prevent blood from getting pushed up into the RA again. Similarly, there are 3 other valves that function for the same reason (aortic, mitral, and pulmonic). Failure of the valves to close properly causes many heart problems!
What Path does an erythrocyte take from the aorta to stomach back to heart?
the blood goes through the arteries, blood viens, and heart in which goes down to your stomach. heart-asc aorta-aortic arch-descending aorta-abdominal aorta-celiac trunk-gastric artery (then gas exchange happens and it goes up the gastric veins and hephatic portal vein for the head from the heart you will go to the common carotid arteries then the internal or eternal carotid depending on where you are headed this is where you will have to figure out the circle of willis. occipital- asc aorta-aortic arch-brachiocephalic artery-common carotid-internal carotid-posterior communicating artery-posterior cerebral artery-gas exchange-(occipital) then you go back via the veins making sure you hit up the dural sinuses
How arteries and vein differ?
Arteries send blood away from the heart while veins send blood to the heart.
Does the left side of the heart pump oxygenated blood?
The left side of the heart (the left ventricle) pumps blood through aorta into systemic arteries.The right ventricle is the one in charge of pumping the venous blood into the lungs, where blood gets oxygenated and can then go to left ventricle to be pumped through systemic arteries.However, the left ventricle does also pump some blood into the lungs: aorta gives off branches (bronchial arteries) that go into lungs and supply oxygen to the cells of lung tissue.To summarize, lungs get blood from both sides of the heart. From the left ventricle, they get the blood that feeds them, and from the right ventricle they get the blood which they have to fill with oxygen.
What does the left ventricle send blood to?
The Aortic valve

The structure and function of right atrium?
The structure of the right atrium is to send blood through an atrioventricular valve to the right ventricle and it's structure is mostly muscle and tissue.
What do EGR vacuum solenoid do on 1993 Chevrolet caprice?
It is an electrically operated valve that when energized let's the vacuum through to the EGR valve to open it. Many also contain an electical switch that is closed when the vacuum is applied to the EGR valve to send a confirmation signal back to the ECM (engine control module).
Where do arteries send blood to?
arteries send blood to the rest of the body, from the heart; viens send it back to the heart from the body.
What does the term valve overlap mean?
Valve timing overlap is the time when both exhaust and intake valves are open most engines with catalytic converters require valve overlap in order to send a small amount of raw fuel/ air mix to the converter's. An "open cam" has valve overlap a "closed" cam does not
What nerves send blood to the body?
Nerves do not send blood, rather it is arteries and veins that transports blood throughout the body.
What send blood from the heart throughout the body?
Veins send blood from the hard throughout the body
What are tubes that send blood away from the heart?
Arteries are the blood vessels that send blood away from the heart. Veins, in contrast, bring blood to the heart.
What are blood vessels called that send oxygenated blood to different parts of the body?
Arteries are blood vessels that send oxygenated blood to different parts of the body.
How many heart valves would a blood cell travelling from the renal vein the the pulmonary vein pass through?
Two, the blood will flow into the right atrium through the tricuspid valve (#1) into the right ventricle. The right ventricle will contract and send the blood through the pulmonary semilunar valve (#2) to the lung. The blood will return through the pulmonary vein but will not pass through any more heart valves until it passes the left atrium.
