What structure of the diencephalon forms the lateral walls of the 3rd ventricle?
i think it is thalamus
How do you repair a heart valve without surgery?
Easy all you gotta do is put sticky tape on the hole or use staples if you are to cheap to buy sticky tape
How does the human heart work?
The horse's heart works basically the same as ours. Four chambers and valves between them. We are not that different at that level - humans and horses are both mammals and all mammals have similar hearts.
The amount of blood pumped by the left ventricle of the heart during one heartbeat is called?
It is known as stroke volume.
Stroke volume (SV) is the volume of blood pumped by the right/left ventricle of the heart in one contraction.
The stroke volume is not all of the blood contained in the left ventricle. The heart does not pump all the blood out of the ventricle. Normally, only about two-thirds of the blood in the ventricle is put out with each beat. What blood is actually pumped from the left ventricle is the stroke volume and it, together with the heart rate, determines the cardiac output.
How long can a heart beat outside of a body?
A heart can last six hours after being removed

What degree do you need to be an open heart surgeon?
In the United States, to become a cardiovascular surgeon, one must obtain an undergraduate degree (usually 4 years), and then obtain a medical degree (4 years). He/she then completes a general surgery residency program (often 5 years) and finally completes a cardiovascular/thoracic surgery fellowship (3-4 years). Thus, the entire length of training after high school is typically 16-17 years.
What is the condition where the heart cannot pump efficiently?
Congestive heart failure is the condition of a weakened heart not able to pump blood effectively.
Congestive heart failure.
Why do birds need a four chambered heart?
A four-chambered heart prevents oxygen-rich blood from mixing with oxygen-poor blood and therefore ensures more efficient circulation than a three-chambered heart. Efficient circulation of blood is necessary for an animal with high metabolic needs. Birds have high energy requirements because they are warm-blooded and move mostly by flying.
Why does the right atrium and ventricle send blood to the heart?
The right atrium receives blood from the systemic circulation and helps to fill the right ventricle. The right ventricle pumps blood into the pulmonary artery to be transported to the lungs.
How many upper chambers are there in the heart?
Two - the left and right ventricles. The upper chambers are the left and right atria
What is the condition called when a heart artery is clogged and the heart muscle dies?
Myocardial infarction (heart attack, colloquially speaking).
What is the location of the heart?
describe the location of the heart and its orientation in the body cavity
What exercises cause the heart to beat faster?
Exercises that cause the heart to beat faster include fast walking, bicycling, jogging, roller skating, swimming, and walking up stairs
Which instruments are used to measure heart beats?
In different ways, heart "movement" can be measured (inferentially or explicitly) by EKG/ECG, Cardio Nuclear Medicine Study, fMRI, rapid multi-slice hi-res CT, and ultrasound imaging.
Which blood vessel carries waste-rich blood from capillaries back to the heart?
well form the legs it would be The great saphenous vein and femoral vein that empty into the inferior vena cave, which leads back to the heart
What carries blood away from the heart toward the tissues?
It would be better to say what type of waste, if it is carbon dioxide you are talking about the red blood cells do some of that. There is a lot of waste products, specify which one and we can try and tell you.
What is the flow of blood inside the human heart?
Deoxygenated blood enters the right atrium via the vena cava, then passes through the tricuspid valve to the right ventricle. The blood is then pumped via this ventricle via the pulmonary arteries to the lungs to pick up oxygen. Oxygen-rich blood returns to the left atrium of the heart via the pulmonary veins and passes via the mitral valve to the left ventricle. This powerful pump then sends the blood through the aortic valve to the aorta and on to the entire body to nourish all living tissue and cells
What makes heart valves open and close?
Valves in the heart close (or open) due to pressure changes in the 4 chambers of the heart. When blood flows into the heart through the pulmonary vein (oxygenated) the heart is in diastole so both the left atrium and ventricle fill. At this point, the bicuspid valve between the chambers is open. When the left atrium becomes full of blood, stretch receptors trigger a response from the SA node - this leads to a contraction of the left atrium (bicuspid valve forced open by pressure). The pressure then exerted from the left ventricle on the left atrium causes the valve to close. This prevents back-flow into the left atrium. When the left ventricle is full, the AV node sends an impulse down the Bundle of His, and to the Prukinje fibres. The left ventricle is subsequently "squeezed" causing blood to flow up the aorta and out to the body. When the heart is contracting like this it is in Systole. Similarly, valves in the aorta close due to the pressure of the blood (caused by gravity). This, again, prevents back-flow in the heart. A similar chain of events occurs in the right side of the heart.
What is the maximum heart rate for a fourteen year old girl?
The theoritical maixmum heart rate would be 220 - 14 = 206 beats per minute; however, this is only an approximate and could vary around +/- 10%. This said, your MHR could be somewhere between 186 and 226, with a great likehood of being around 206 bpm.
What is th function of the left ventricle?
The left ventricle is where the blood that is oxygenated is pumped from into the aorta. The atrium is the above the left ventricle, and the bicuspid valve (which controls blood flow) has a place where there is a more controlled amount of blood going into the aorta.
How big is your heart and where is it located?
The heart is approximately the size of your fist and is located in the middle/left part of your chest.
