Why are the two valves on the left side of the heart where there is high pressure?
It depends on the viewpoint of the observer ! Looking at the heart as if you're standing in front of the patient - the left ventricle and left atrium are on the right of the heart. If you're looking at the heart as if you're standing behind the patient - the chambers are correctly placed.
What else can I help you with?
The heart valves are arranged with the?
valves in the heart are at the opening of the right and left auricle,poening of the right and left venticle and the closing of the right and left ventricle
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.
Does the left side of the heart have more valves?
No. There are two "valves" on each side.
What are human heart valves?
The heart has two main valves..the one on the right is called the tricuspid valve and the one on the left side of the heart is called the mitral valve. The valves are located between the atria and the ventricles. There are four chambers in the human heart...a right and a left atrium and a right and a left ventricle. The heart is made of "filling stations" = the atria and "pumping stations" = the ventricles. The valves prevent blood from moving between the atria and ventricles during the pumping and filling processes. Once the atria are filled, the next beat of the heart moves the blood to the next chamber....either the right/left ventricle during systole (siss-toll-ee) or diastole (dye-ah-stoll-ee) The top number ( the "numerator") on your blood pressure reading is systolic pressure. The bottom number (the "denominator") is diastolic pressure, which indicates if you have hypertension. Without the valves, the blood doesn't stay in the proper chamber during an action of the heart muscle.
Name all the valves of the heart?
The valves in the heart are:Between the right atrium and the right ventricle is the tricuspid valve.Between the left atrium and the left ventricle is the bicuspid valve.In the pulmonary artery and aorta are the semi lunar valves.
Is the left side of the heart is high pressure or low pressure?
The left side of the heart is part of a high-pressure circuit. The left side of the heart must pump blood throughout the body, requiring higher pressure than the pulmonary circulation.
Is the heart always pumping blood when pressure in the left ventricle is rising?
No when pressure in the left ventricle first rises, the heart is contracting but no blood is leaving the heart. During this initial phase of contraction, bother the AV valves and the semilunar valves are closed. The increase in the pressure is the result of increased tension as the cardiac muscle contracts. When the pressure in the ventricle exceeds the pressure in the aorta, the aortic semilunar valves are forced open, and blood is rapidly ejected from the ventricle.
Can chronic pain cause High blood pressure?
an abscessed tooth can cause ALOT more than high plood pressure. That abscess is all poison in your body. Have it taken care of immediatly. Thqt poison can get into your blood stream and you will then be dealing with alot more than high blood pressure. You rally can get seriously ill. That poison can cause a serious condition called bacterial endocarditis, an inflammation in the heart valves and lining . Left untreated, it can kill.

What chamber of the heart is considered a high pressure chamber?
The left ventricle

What kind of circulation does the left side of the heart pump blood?
the oxygenated blood reaches the left atrium from the lungs. the contraction of the atria (atrial systole) increases the pressure in the atria such that it exceeds the ventricular pressure. the atioventricular valves then open. as we know liquid always moves from a region of high pressure to a region of low pressur. similarly in the heart blood will flow from the left atrium to the left ventricle.it will then be pumped into the systemic circulation.

What is Left heart failure?
it means the left side of your heart not working properly. the valves are bad or the muscle is weak.
What are thae names of the heart valves found on the left side of the heart?
These are called the ventricles
