Which ventricles contract blood is pumped?
The left ventricle contracts to pump blood through the systemic circulation. The right ventricle contracts to pump blood through the pulmonary circuit.
How does the pulsating blood pressure in the largest arteries relate to their structure?
It reveals their elasticity. When the heart contracts and forces blood into the large arteries near the heart, they stretch to accommodate the greater blood volume (systolic pressure). Then, as the blood continues on in the circuit, their walls recoil, keeping pressure on the blood which keeps it moving (diastolic pressure).
When the right contracts where is blood pushed to?
when the right ventricle contracts it is pushed to the blood to the pulmunery arteries and to the capilaries of the lungs whee exchange of gases tkes place

What happens in the left ventricle of the heart?

What is the purpose of antiangina drugs?

How does the heart work simple?

Where does blood flow when the ventricle contracts?

How is blood pressure generated that forces blood to circulate throughout the body?
Blood pressure is generated by the heart. When the heart muscles contract, they create pressure to push blood around the circulatory system.
What pumps blood in earthworms?
In earthworms, blood is pumped by a muscular blood vessel called the dorsal blood vessel. This vessel runs along the top side of the digestive tract and contracts rhythmically to circulate the blood throughout the worm's body.
