What pumps blood through the aortic valve to the body?
The left ventricle of the heart pumps blood through the aortic valve to the body. When the heart contracts, the aortic valve opens and allows oxygen-rich blood to flow from the left ventricle into the aorta, which then delivers the blood throughout the body.
The number of valves thorugh which blood leaves the heart?
2 valves: pulmonary valve- blood leaving from the right ventricle passes through it towards the lungs; aortic valve- blood leaving from the left ventricle passes through it to the body (by way of the aorta)
What is a valve in the human body?
One valve is the mitral valve in the heart.
What is the valve between the heart and artery of the body called?
The valve between the heart and the aorta is the aortic valve, and the valve between the heart and the pulmonary artery is the pulmonic valve.
What is the function of the aortic valve?
The aortic valve functions as a one-way valve between the heart and the rest of the body. Blood is pumped from the left ventricle of the heart, through the valve, and down the aorta, which in turn supplies blood to all of the organs in the body. Between heart contractions, the valve closes, preventing blood from flowing backwards into the heart. The function of the aortic valve is then twofold: (1) It provides a route for which blood can leave the heart, and (2) It prevents blood that has already left the heart from leaking backwards into the heart.
Circular flowing what circular pathway flows from the heart to the organs and back to the heart?
The following is the pathway of blood through the body: 1. blood enters the heart from the body through the superior & inferior vena cava 2. it enters the right atrium and passes through the tricuspid valve into the right ventricle 3. it passes from the right ventricle through the pulmonary valve, pulmonary artery and to the lungs to be oxygenated 4. oxygenated blood returns from the lungs and into the left atrium 5. it passes through the bicuspid valve into the left ventricle 6. it leaves the left ventricle through the aortic valve, into the aorta and out to the rest of the body
What fluid transports oxygen to the various parts of the body?
Blood transports oxygen throughout the body. It transports through veins towards the lungs and then to the heart. The heart then pumps this oxygenated blood through the aorta and transports it throughout the body through arteries and capillaries.

How is venous blood converted to arterial blood?
Venous blood from body tissues is deoxygenated. It flows into the heart at the right atrium, through the tricuspid valve, and into the right atrium. Then it gets pumped to the lungs through the pulmonary semilunar valve. It becomes oxygenated in the lungs, then goes to the left atrium of the heart where it passes through the bicuspid valve and then is pumped through the Aortic semilunar valve where it becomes arterial blood.
When is the blood moved from the heart into your arteries?
Arteries usually carry oxygenated blood throughout the body, however this is a common misconception. A more apt description would be, they carry blood AWAY from the heart. blood is first moved from the Right ventricle, through the right semi-lunar valve into the pulmonary artery towards the lungs. after the return from the lungs via the pulmonary veins the now oxygenated blood travels through the left side of the heart and out through the left semi-lunar valve of the left ventricle into the Aorta and arterial network throughout the body.
What tube in your body moves blood from your heart through your body?
I think the answer is blood vessels. I hope I was right. :)
When blood travels through the triscupid valve. Where does it go next?
Blood travels from the right atrium to the right ventricle through the tricuspid valve. It then goes through the pulmonary artery to the lungs, where it becomes oxygenated, then back to the heart via the pulmonary vein. From the left atrium it goes down through the bicuspid valve to the left ventricle, then it's off to the body again via the aorta (the 'almighty artery' as I like to call it lol).
