What are the blood vessles that carry out blood from the heart to the body?
They are called arteries, while veins carry the blood back. the vessels that carry blood to/from your heart are arteries. the vessels that carry the blood around your body are veins and capillaries.
If one side of the heart beats faster than the other?
Your heart has the ability to change heart rate at will during periods that require it to. For example, during physical exertion, your heart rate will increase to meet the blood-oxygen demand your body needs to keep going. When you sleep, your heart rate as well as metabolism slows as you do not require the same amount of energy as you do when you are awake. Defective hearts, however, have serious side effects. A heart that beats faster than is needed for an unnecessary amount of time can be damaged from the strain and have reduced performance. A heart rate that is lower than needed can dangerously lower your oxygen level used by your muscles, leaving you weak. In extreme cases, when your oxygen levels in your blood stream become too low, you can asphyxiate(suffocate) even if your breathing is normal
Names of superior heart chambers?
Right Atrium>Tricuspid Valve>Right Ventricle>Pulmonary Valve>Pulmonary Artery>Lungs>Pulmonary Vein>Left Atrium>Bicuspid Valve (Mitral Valve)>Left Ventricle>Aortic Valve>Aorta
What is the function of check valves?
The function of a check valve is to prevent backward flow of liquid by closing. The check valves close by using fluid pressure. They are two port valves, which means there is an opening for fluid to enter and one for fluid to escape.
Is the esophagus in front of the heart or behind the heart?
The esophagus is located behind the heart. It is a muscular tube that connects the throat to the stomach and runs down the back of the chest cavity, behind the trachea and heart. The esophagus plays a crucial role in the digestion process by transporting food and liquids from the mouth to the stomach through a series of coordinated muscle contractions called peristalsis.
How many numbers of chambers are in a mammals heart?
A mammalian heart has four chambers and they are right and left atrium and right and left ventricle.
What are the names of the tubes going and coming from heart?
bronchus and why is this in public health ans SAFETY
What are vessels that move blood toward the heart called?
i think its the pulmonary vein, aorta, and main artery
When the valves in the heart do not work properly what do you call this?
All should function properly if not I recommend seeing a health professional
What ventricle pumps blood from the heart to the lungs?
Right ventricle pumps blood through the pulmonary valve to the pulmonary artery to the lungs
Which heart chamber has the lowest pressure?
Blood pressure has nothing to do with the chambers of the heart. Blood pressure has to do with the arteries, veins and capillaries.
What is the use of artioventricular valves?
Atrioventricular valves are two in number. Mitral valve is between the left atrium (upper chamber) and left ventricle (lower chamber). Tricuspid valve is between the right atrium (upper chamebr) and right ventricle (lower chamber). Mitral valve closes when the left ventricle contracts, to prevent back flow of blood into the left atrium. Tricuspid valve closes when the right ventricle contracts. Hence the blood from the ventricles are able to go out of the heart into the blood vessels during ventricular contraction. Mitral and tricuspid valves open when the ventricles relax, permitting blood to enter the ventricles from the atria. This blood is pumped out when the ventricles contracts next time.
Is the AV node or the SA node closest to the center of the heart?
The sino-atrial node (or SA node) is located in the right atrium, just below the entrance of the superior vena cava in the upper right portion of the right atrium.
What are the Heart and the lungs are surrounded and protected by?
the heart is surrounded by the pericardium. There is the visceral pericardium which is closest to the heart organ and the parietal pericardium which is the outer lining. The lungs are surrounded by the pleural membrane. There is the visceral pleura which is located closest to the lung and the parietal pleura which is the outer lining. The heart and lungs are protected from external damage by the ribcage. The sternal bone is one of the hardest bones in the body and this bone protects the heart from damage.
What do you call restarting a heart?
Yes, that is what defibrillators do. When you have a heart attack your heart is beating out of sync so they stop your heart and it gives it a chance so start beating again normally with all parts in sync.
What is a lethal heart attack?
A heart attack occurs if the flow of oxygen-rich blood to a section of heart muscle suddenly becomes blocked. If blood flow isn't restored quickly, the section of heart muscle begins to die. If the heart cannot supply blood to other organs they cannot function and will also die.
What are the risk factors for heart diseases?
High blood pressure
Physical inactivity
Obesity and overweight
Diabetes mellitus
Increasing age
Gender
Family history
Tobacco smoke
High blood cholesterol
High Blood sugar
People who exercise regularly, eat a healthy diet, and manage stress are less likely to have heart disease. A healthy lifestyle will offset internal risk factors such as age, gender, family history, and ethnicity. Many ethnic groups, including African Americans, have an increased risk of heart disease.

Which sports raises your heart rate?
mainly outdoor sports where the physical workout is more raises heart rate. This happens due to the energy consumption during play,our body need more oxygen, so we breathe heavily and due to this more blood pumps in and out so heart rate raises.
Which layer of the heart enlarges to athletes?
Left ventricle is not a layer, dip head! The appropriate answer would be the myocardium.
Is it true that Stroke volume is the amount of blood pumped per beat of the heart?
Stroke volume is the volume of blood pumped out by a ventricle with each heartbeat. Yes.
Does playing music affect the rate at which chickens lay eggs?
I've read in a factual book and seen somewhere online that chickens do lay more eggs when certain music is played near them.
I too read that it does and anything that helps is worth a try. I have had the radio tuned to local country station for four years now and a side benefit is that the radio going overnight helps keep the larger predators away. I am not sure that egg production is any better but I am sure the hens are calmer.
What is the function of a valve tendon in the heart?
The valves are attached to the heart wall by tendons as this allows the closure of the vavles to be controlled it also makes sure the the valve is completely closed to prevent backflow, which is potentially fatal.
OK i can only assume the question is reffering to the tendinae chordinae which connect the atrioventricular valves to the pappilary muscles projecting from the heart wall? The functions of these structures is to prevent the massive pressure difference, between the vetrivles and actria during systole, from pushing the the valve inside out and thus preventing backflow. NB the pappilary muscles and chordea tendinae are not involved in clossing or openinghte valves they just stop inversion.
Can a person do CPR on heart attack?
Yes, a trained individual can and should start CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) on a person who has just had a heart attack. The goal of CPR is to restore blood and oxygen circulation throughout the body, and in a heart attack the heart stops pumping oxygenated blood throughout the body.
