What is meant by eustachius valve?
The Eustachian valve is a remnant structure in the heart that is sometimes present in fetal development but typically regresses before birth. It is a flap of tissue located in the right atrium near the opening of the inferior vena cava. In some cases, the Eustachian valve can be associated with certain congenital heart abnormalities.
Function of the frog right atrium?
Definition: the right upper chamber of the heart that receives blood from the venae cavae and coronary sinus
How do atria and ventiricles differ in structure and function?
Function of the Atria The atria of the heart receive blood returning to the heart from other areas of the body. Right Atrium: Receives blood returning to the heart from the superior and inferior venae cavae. The superior vena cava returns de-oxygenated blood from the head, neck, arm and chest regions of the body to the right atrium. The inferior vena cava returns de-oxygenated blood from the lower body regions (legs, back, abdomen and pelvis) to the right atrium. Left Atrium: Receives blood returning to the heart from the pulmonary veins. The pulmonary veins extend from the left atrium to the lungs and bring oxygen-rich blood back to the heart.
What is the function of each atrium?
the main or central room of an ancient roman house open to the sky with a pool for collecting water. A large open space in a building Microscopic air sacs within the lungs An anatomical structure within the heart Atrium of the ventricular system of the brain (a cavity or passage in the brain)
What is the diagram on how the blood flow?
Simply put, the circulatory system handles blood flow in the human body. Blood flow is necessary for the body's cells to get food and oxygen so they can function, and they also need to dump waste and carbon dioxide. The blood is the fluid that transports all these materials in both directions, and circulation of the blood is necessary to life. The heart acts as a pump for the system, and its regular contractions force blood through the vessels in the circulatory system. There are volumes of information on blood and on the circulatory system, and a link to the Wikipedia articles will get you started on your way to an understanding of this extraordinary biological system.
Inferior venae cavae?
one of the vein that is leading toward the heart.
What vessel empties into the upper right chamber of the heart?

What do veins merge to become?

venae cavae
Where does the venae cavae lead in to?
starts at brain ends at heart you have the upper which is the bigger and the lower which is the smaller
Compare the thickness of the walls of the superior and inferior vena cava and the aorta?
The aorta has significantly thicker walls than the superior and inferior venae cavae as the aorta is an artery that must respond to significant intraluminal pressures whereas the venae cavae are veins that have minimal intraluminal pressure.
What does the largest vein in your body do?
The largest veins are the venae cavae that return deoxygenated blood from the body into the heart.
