When blood flows through the heart what force the blood out of the heart and into the arteries?
The atria
Actually, it is the contractions (squeezing) of the ventricles (the lower parts of the heart), not the atria (the upper parts), that do the pumping. That's why the lower part of the heart is larger, and the muscular walls are thicker.
The atria receive the blood from the body and pump it down into the ventricles.

What is definition of blood pressure?
Blood Pressure: Is the force at which blood flows thorugh the arteries of the body.
Define systolic and diastolic blood pressure?
Blood Pressure: The force at which blood flows through the arteries in the body. Systolic: Refers to the pressure on the arteries as the heart contracts (squeezes). Diastolic: Refers to the pressure on the vessels as the heart relaxes.
What force keeps blood moving in arteries?
The heart. When the heart pumps blood, it pushes the other blood to move.
What type of blood vessel will usually contain blood under high pressure?
Arteries. This is because the heart is pumping the blood away from the heart through the arteries, thus they are very high pressure due to the force of the blood being pushed quickly through a confined space.
How does the body establish a pressure gradient for fluid flow?
A pressure gradient exists in the arteries because the heart actively pumps the blood; additionally, the elasticity of the larger arteries helps force the blood along. There is a lower pressure gradient within the veins that is generated by the muscles squeezing the blood along back to the heart (assisted by valves within the veins).
What force pushes the blood out of the the heart and into the arteries?
The strong contractions of the right and left ventricles push the blood up through the semi lunar valves.
Does blood pressure determine the force exerted by the blood on the walls of the arteries?
Yes it does.
A measurement of the force in the arteries as the heart pumps?
blood pressure .......
How does the heart helps in the distribution of the blood throughout the body?
The heart does not just "help"- it is the primary force to push blood through the arteries to all parts of the body. It is a pump.
How does the heart help in the distribution of the blood throughout the body?
The heart does not just "help"- it is the primary force to push blood through the arteries to all parts of the body. It is a pump.
What is the difference between pulse and blood pressure?
Pulse is the rhythmic beating of the heart felt in arteries, while blood pressure is the force of blood against the walls of arteries.
True or false the force of blood against the walls of the arteries is called blood pressure?
True.
