What happens during the first stage of a heartbeat?
A heartbeat has two parts the first part in the flow of the blood into the heart. The second part is the flow of the blood out of the heart. That is why heart beat is a bub-bub sound.
What does the process of blood flow with your body called?
blood flow is called circulation
When you feel a pulse do you feel the blood flow?
Because there is an artery close to the skin there.
Do contractions affect blood flow?
Contractions of blood vessels can affect blood flow. Constricting (narrowing) of blood vessels reduces blood flow, while dilating (widening) of blood vessels increases blood flow. This regulation is important for controlling blood pressure and directing blood to different parts of the body based on its needs.
How does the blood flow when a vein is cut?
Blood flow from a vein is slower than that from an artery.
What controls the flow of blood in arteries?
Your heartbeat
What does a stimulant do to the heart and circulatory system?
Increases the heartbeat, the blood flow and expands the veins to accommodate the flow

When is immediate treatment needed for an irregular heartbeat?
When the heartbeat is greatly disrupted--either because of traumatic injury, disease, hypertension, surgery, or reduced blood flow to the heart caused by blockages in the blood vessels that nourish the heart.
How does the pacemaker help with the circulation in a persons legs?
The pacemaker will regulate the heartbeat, and a regulated heartbeat will regulate the speed blood is moved throughout the body. Improved blood flow, especially in the legs, will improve general health across the board.
What causes stronger heartbeat faster breathing and more blood flow to muscles?
Exercise, Tachycardia, Anxiety, Fear, or Excitement.
What are some uses for the stethoscope?
The stethoscope is mainly used by medical professionals to listen to a patient's heartbeat, blood flow, lungs and intestines.
Can you feel a heartbeat in the thumb?
No, typically the pulse and heartbeat are more commonly felt in areas closer to the heart, such as the wrist or neck. If you are feeling a pulse in your thumb, it may be due to pressure or other factors affecting blood flow.
What is the relaxation phease of the heartbeat known as?
The relaxation phase of the heartbeat is known as diastole. During diastole, the heart muscle relaxes, allowing the chambers to fill with blood. This phase follows systole, where the heart contracts and pumps blood out. Effective diastole is crucial for maintaining proper blood flow and overall cardiovascular health.
Why blood flow with jerks in the arteries?
Blood flow in arteries can exhibit jerks or pulsations primarily due to the rhythmic contraction of the heart, which creates pressure waves as blood is pumped into the arteries. This pulsatile flow is influenced by the elasticity of the arterial walls, which expand and recoil with each heartbeat. Additionally, factors such as blood pressure and the overall health of the cardiovascular system can affect the smoothness of blood flow, leading to more pronounced jerks or fluctuations.
Can you feel a heartbeat in you adominal bottom if you're pregnant?
Sometimes you are aware of your own pulse deep in your abdomen when you are pregnant as the blood flow to the uterus increases.
What make the sound of the heartbeat?
Your heart is constantly is constricting and expanding which is what makes your blood flow. One part of the heart pumps in blood while the other part pumps out blood making a thud dud kind of noise.
