What structure must be open to allow blood to flow from the atrium to the ventricle?

The atrioventricular (AV) valve must be open to allow blood to flow from the atrium to the ventricle. This valve ensures one-way flow of blood by opening when the atrium contracts and closing to prevent backflow when the ventricle contracts.


Where does the mitral valve allow blood to enter during contraction of left ventricle?

The mitral valve allows blood to enter the left ventricle from the left atrium during contraction of the left ventricle. This valve opens to allow blood flow from the atrium to the ventricle and then closes to prevent backflow of blood.


How does blood travel through the heart?

Blood enters the heart through the right atrium, then flows into the right ventricle. From there, it is pumped to the lungs to pick up oxygen. Oxygenated blood returns to the heart through the left atrium, then moves into the left ventricle. Finally, the left ventricle pumps the oxygen-rich blood out to the rest of the body.


Oxygenated blood is found in the right atrium?

This statement is incorrect. Oxygenated blood is found in the left atrium of the heart, having been pumped from the lungs by the left ventricle. The right atrium receives deoxygenated blood from the body.


Does the right atrium in the body contain oxygenated or dexoygenated blood?

The right atrium receives deoxygenated blood, then the blood moves into the right ventricle. So both of them receive deoxygenated blood. Once the blood returns from the lungs it is oxygenated and comes into the heart through the pulmonary veins into the left atrium then to the left ventricle then out to the body.

What does the right ventrcle do?

The right ventricle receives the impure deoxygenated blood from the right atrium and pumps this blood to the lungs to get purified and oxygenated in the lungs. This purified blood is returned to the heart to the left atrium, and then gets pumped out to the left ventricle which then pumps it out to supply the organs and tissues with fresh oxygenated blood.


What is name of the valve that opens to allow the blood to travel from the right atrium to the right ventricle?

Tricuspid valve


Where does atrium travel to?

The two atria (right atrium and left atrium) of the heart travel (force blood) to the ventricles (right ventricle and left ventricle), respectively.


What is the name of the valve that opens to allow blood to travel from the atrium to the right ventricle?

tricuspid/ right atrioventricular valve.


Is this a correct statement about the heart valves the tricuspid valve divides the left atrium from the left ventricle?

No, the tricuspid valve permits one-way blood flow from the right atrium to the right ventricle. There is no valve or natural opening that allows blood flow from the right atrium to the left atrium.


WHAT VALVE OPENS TO ALLOW BLOOD TO TRAVEL FROM THE RIGHT ATRIUM TO THE RIGHT VENTRICLE?

The pulmonary valve, one of the semilunar valve, permits blood flow from the right ventricle. From there, the blood goes to the pulmonary artery, and then to the lungs.

How does the blood travel through the heart?

You get deoxygenated or impure blood from the whole body. It enters the right atrium. Right atrium pumps the blood in right ventricle. From right ventricle blood goes to your lungs. Here the blood gets oxygenated or get purified. Then it enters your left atrium. Left atrium pumps the blood in left ventricle. Left ventricle pumps the blood to your whole body.


After the left ventrcle What is next?

The left ventricle pumps into the aorta which supplies blood to the rest of the body.


What structures must be open to allow blood to flow from the atrium to the ventricle?

the pulmonary artery


Where does the mitral valve allow blood to enter during contraction of left ventricle?

The mitral valve allows blood to enter the left ventricle from the left atrium during contraction of the left ventricle. This valve opens to allow blood flow from the atrium to the ventricle and then closes to prevent backflow of blood.


Does the atrium have depxgyenated blood?

well you have two atria the right atrium and left atrium but i think the right atrium has deoxygenated blood and the left atrium has oxygenated blood.
