To determine the right and left valves of the clam, put the valve in your hand with the nacre facing you and the beak pointing up. If the beak is toward the right, it is the left valve, and if it is toward the left, it is the right valve.

What are the structures of the circulatory system that keep blood flowing in one direction?

Valves in your heart keep out the backwash of "dirty" blood, therefore it only travels from right to left to be "cleaned" and oxidized by the lungs. Once oxidized, it returns to the rest of the body and thus, back into the heart. Repeat!


What separates the upper and lower chamber?

The AV valves separate the upper and lower chambers of the heart. The bicuspid valve is on the left, and the tricuspid on the right.


In what other structures of the circulatory system are valves found?

You have the atrioventricular valves that are the valves separating each atrium from the ventricles. The right AV valve is the tricuspid valve, while the left AV valve is the bicuspid/mitral valve. There are also two valves that lead from the heart to the pulmonary and aortic arteries. These are the pulmonary and aortic valves. They are both semilunar valves because of their shape.


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 the vavle that stops blood from flowing back into the right atrium?

The valve that stops blood from flowing back into the right atrium is the tricuspid valve. It is located between the right atrium and right ventricle and ensures that blood flows in one direction, from the atrium to the ventricle.

What is a cuspid valve?

Cuspid valves are right and left atrioventricular (AV) valves.


Is there is mixing of blood from right to left side of heart normally?

No because the valves present between the right atria and left atria (interartrial valves ) and the valves present between the right ventricle and left ventricle (interventricular valve ) allow the unidirectional flow of blood only ;


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.

4 chambers are 1. right atria 2.right ventricle 3.left atria 4 left ventricle 4 values are 1.tricuspid valves in between the right atria and right ventricle 2.mitral valve or bicuspid valves in between the left atria and left ventricle 3.Aortic valves 4.pulmonary valve


Valves separating atria and ventricles are cal led what valves?

for the right atrium and right ventricle, the tricuspid valve separates the two. For the left, the mitral valve separates the two.


How can I determine if a door has a left or right inswing?

To determine if a door has a left or right inswing, stand outside the door and note which side the hinges are on. If the hinges are on the left, it is a left inswing door. If the hinges are on the right, it is a right inswing door.


How can I determine whether a door is for the right or left hand?

To determine if a door is for the right or left hand, stand facing the door. If the hinges are on the left side, it's a left-hand door. If the hinges are on the right side, it's a right-hand door.


Do valves control the flow of blood from the artia to the ventricles?

No, it flows from the Right Atrium to the Right Ventricle then to the Left Atrium to the Left Ventricle. Hope this helps!


Trace the pathway of blood through the heart Include major veins arteries chambers and valves.?

You're better off with a diagram, but I'll try... Blood enters from the right through the vena cava into the right atrium. The tricuspid valves let it into the right ventricle. From there the semilunar valves let it into the pulmonary artery. From there it goes to the lungs, and returns, oxygenated, in the pulmonary vein, entering on the far left. It goes into the left atrium and then is let into the left ventricle by the bicuspid valves. From there it goes through the semilunar valves to the aorta and from there to the rest of the body.
