What happens when the heart contracts?

The heart is just a muscle that pumps blood through the body. When the heart contracts it is pushing the blood around your body. There is a nice, though not too in depth, video on the NOVA website: See the Related Link.


What is the journey of a red blood cell starting and ending at the heart?

1) the deoxygenated red blood cell travels back to the heart in the vena cava2) it enters the right atrium3) the right atrium contracts and pushes it through the tricuspid and into the right ventricle,4) the right ventricle contracts and pushes it out of the heart through the semi lunar,5) it travels through the pulmonary artery to the lungs,6) here it picks up oxygen,7) it travels back to the heart through the pulmonary vein,8) it enters the left atrium,9) the left atrium contracts and pushes it through the bicuspid and into the left ventricle,10) the left ventricle contracts and pushes it through the semi lunar out of the heart and into the Aorta....... You missed like two. If you wrote them it would've been a perfect answer. LOL11) They travel through the Aorta and into the kidneys, trunk and lower limbs.12) Then the de-oxygenated blood travels up through the Vena Cava and then it starts again.oh come on, you forgot the capillaries!!The red blood cells travel around the body via these small blood vessels!But it all starts at the bone when the blood cell is made. Gosh get it right.;)


Does the upper chambers of the heart receive blood or pushes blood out?

Your right atrium gets the blood supply from the superior and inferior vena cave. The chamber push the blood to the right lower chamber or the right ventricle. The left ventricle gets the blood supply from the lungs and push the same to left ventricle.


What chambers of the heart pushes blood out?

The ventricles. These are the two lower chambers, one on each side. The ride ventricle pushes blood to the lungs, for oxygenation and the left ventricle pumps the oxygenated blood through the body.


What pathway does the blood flow when the ventricles undergo contraction?

When the ventricles contract, the right ventricle pushes blood up through the pulmonary semilunar valve into the pulmonary arteries via the pulmonary trunk, and the left ventricle pushes blood up through the aortic semilunar valve into the Aorta.

Where does the blood go after entering the heart?

blood enters the right atrium through two large veins, the superior vena cava and the inferior vena cava. the blood is deoxygenated and is bluish in colour. the right atrium contracts and pushes blood through to the right ventricle. this turns contracts and pushes blood to the lungs through the pulmonary vein. when the blood reaches the lungs it receivers oxygen and turns bright red. this oxygenated blood then flows back to the heart and enters through the left atrium via the pulmonary veins. when this chamber contracts, blood is pushed out of the aorta to circulate around the body.


When the right ventricle contracts where is blood push to?

When the right ventricle contracts it is pushes blood to the pulmonary arteries and to the capillaries of the lungs where exchange of gases takes place


Why can red blood cells move quickly through blood vessels?

1) the deoxygenated red blood cell travels back to the heart in the vena cava2) it enters the right atrium3) the right atrium contracts and pushes it through the tricuspid and into the right ventricle,4) the right ventricle contracts and pushes it out of the heart through the semi lunar,5) it travels through the pulmonary artery to the lungs,6) here it picks up oxygen,7) it travels back to the heart through the pulmonary vein,8) it enters the left atrium,9) the left atrium contracts and pushes it through the bicuspid and into the left ventricle,10) the left ventricle contracts and pushes it through the semi lunar out of the heart and into the Aorta.Only because the heart pumps so well.


What happen when the right atrium contracts?

At the beginning of the cardiac cycle after they receive an action potential from they synoatrial node. After a short pause, they produce the 'lubb' sound as the atrioventricular valves close to prevent back flow of blood.


When the uterus contracts and pushes the baby out of the mother?

This is known as birth pangs.


What happen when the heart?

When the heart contracts it pushes blood out of the left Ventricle throughout the Aorta around the body. It pushes with such force it can circulate the whole body in 23 seconds.

What is the locomotion for squid?

It draws water into its mantle cavity by expanding its muscles. The mantle stretches like a rubber band, then contracts and forcibly pushes the water out through the funnel. The squid shoots backward, tail first.


What push food down into the stomach?
