What else can I help you with?
Why is the myocardium of the left ventricle thicker than that of the right ventricle?
it pumps blood into the high resistance systemic circulation
What ventricle is responsible for blood flow through the pulmonary circulation?
right ventricle
Is the after load the resistance what the ventricle in the heart has to contract against?
The resistance against which the ventricle contracts is know as afterload.
Where is the left ventricle going?
The blood in the left ventricle is squeezed into the coronary, and systemic circulation.
Where does the right ventricle pump blood to?
the right ventricle pumps blood into the pulmonary circulation
Systemic circulation occurs when the right ventricle pumps blood to the lungs?
Actually, systemic circulation is when the left ventricle pumps oxygenated blood from the heart out to the rest of the body for delivery of nutrients and removal of waste products. Pulmonary circulation is when the right ventricle pumps blood to the lungs for oxygenation.
What is the function of the l and r ventricle?
The left ventricle pumps blood to the systemic circulation. The right ventricle pumps blood to the lungs.
Does the right ventricle move blood around the systemic system?
No, the right ventricle pumps blood to the lungs through the pulmonary artery for oxygenation. After passing through the lungs, the oxygenated blood returns to the left atrium via the pulmonary veins to be pumped out to the systemic circulation by the left ventricle.
Effect of increased vasoconstriction on afterload?
Increased vasoconstriction leads to an increase in afterload, which is the resistance the heart must overcome to eject blood from the left ventricle. As a result, the heart has to work harder to pump blood against the increased resistance, which can lead to increased myocardial oxygen demand and potentially contribute to the development of heart failure over time.
To what parts of the body the left ventricle pumps blood?
The left ventricle pumps blood to the systemic circulation, reaching all parts of the body. The right ventricle pumps blood to the pulmonary circulation, where the blood picks up oxygen.
Which ventricle pumps blood the farthest?
Left Ventricle because it has to pump the blood throughout systemic circulation.
What pumps oxygenated blood to the lungs?
The right ventricle is responsible for that
