Heart

The person's white blood cells would attack it and kill it because it thinks it is a foreign disease or foreign object, and tries to save the body.

The ventricle on the right side of your heart pumps blood from your heart to your lungs. After your body's organs and tissues have used the oxygen in your blood, the vena cavae carry the oxygen-poor blood back to the right atrium of your heart.

Patients who experience ventricular fibrillation (which is disorganized electrical activity occuring within the lower chambers of the heart) are resuscitated via defibrillation. Defibrillation consists of an electric shock usually delivered via conductive pads or paddles. It essentially resets all the cells of the heart in hopes that when electrical activity resumes, it will be organized and able to pump blood.

Untreated, all ventricular fibrillation is fatal, and patients who are at known risk for experiencing this arrythmia can be provided with an implanted cardioverter defibrillator, or ICD. This is a device which is placed under the skin of the upper torso and connected to the heart with a wire. It contains a computer which will monitor the patient's heart at all times and deliver a shock if recognizes ventricular fibrillation or a related rhythm called ventricular tachycardia.

There are also certain drugs, such as amiodarone and lidocaine, which can be given to a patient at known risk for ventricular fibrillation in order to make it less likely. These drugs usually work by making the cell membranes of the cells of the heart more electrically stable. Many of the same drugs can also be given if defibrillation is initially unsuccessful in order to help make it more effective.

It should be noted that there is a very short window of time to treat ventricular fibrillation (permenant brain damage begins to occur approximately 4-6 minutes after the onset of the arrythmia), and the prognosis for these patients is generally very poor if they are not defibrillated immediately and transferred to a critical care setting.

Coughing in and of itself does not cause a heart condition, but it may be a symptom of a heart condition. Lack of breath can sometimes be caused by a congestive heart, or other serious health problems. If you have a chronic, unexplained cough (e.g. not from a cold or choking) you should see your doctor.

It is important for blood to flow in one direction in the heart because blood can't flow backwards because it has oxygen rich blood and poor oxygen rich blood and these to types of blood cannot mix :)

Its because you have a thin frame, I have it too.

But if you find it strange, go to your doctor, there is possibility that you may have dilation of the major aorta.

A valve job is where they turn or resurface the valves in your cylinder head to promote sealing. The head(s) have to come off & they grind the seats as well. The cam opens/closes the valves to let in fuel/let out exhaust.

Heart valves control the flow of blood into, out of, and within the chambers of the heart. The main function is to let blood flow in one direction only, ensuring that blood does not flow backwards.

What is the main pulmonary artery? * Arteries are vessels that carry blood away from the heart. The main pulmonary artery extends from the right ventricle and branches into left and right pulmonary arteries. The left and right pulmonary arteries extend to the left lung and right lung. Function: * Carries de-oxygenated blood from the right ventricle to the lungs. http://biology.about.com/library/organs/heart/blpulmartery.htm :D im doin biology toooo!!!

All of your organs are involved with the heart. The heart pumps blood to all the organs in your body.

The left ventricle pumps blood into the aorta and that takes it out to the body

lateral ventricle

coronary heart disease is caused by a blocked artery or vein in your heart, mainly due to fat deposits. so if the disease is severe, it may result in a heart attack and a surgery is needed. for that, you can have 2 ways : one is the stent, where you insert a hollow pipe like structure into the blocked vessel, and push back the plaque. or, by the bypass surgery, where you replace the blocked vein with that of an extra vein, that is present in your lower leg. inn less severe cases, it can also be cured by medications like aspirin, etc.

Right and left pulmonary veins into the left ventricle and out through the aorta.
Through the pulmonary vein - the only vein in the body to carry oxygenated blood.

It turns from oxygenated blood to deoxygenated blood.

The tissues absorb the oxygen that your red blood cells carry through diffusion through the capillary membranes. When the oxygen is gone, the blood is considered "deoxygenated."

the wall that divides heart cavity down middle is... septum...this is the TRUE answer... I hope thi helped you=}.

It depends on the size of the hole and whether it can repair on its own. Some people with these disorders don't need surgery but some do. The only way to know is to see a specialist. If one is cynotic (turning blue) or passing out or feeling faint these are not good signs. Wish you the best!

Contraction of the left ventricle results in the blood being pumped out into the Aorta (through the Aortic Valve) where it is then sent to all the body's arteries.

The mitral valve prevents blood flowing into the left atrium when the ventricle contracts.

it is called pericadial fluid and it is composed of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), lymphocytes, and some protein.

usually doesn't require treatment. However, if there is damage to other valves in the heart as well, then surgical repair or replacement must be considered.

Chordae tendineae - attached to the valves between both atria and ventricles... these structures are attached to papillary muscles in the bottom of the ventricles. these contract when the valves contract, this keeps the blood from going back up into the atria.

The DNA in brain cells and in heart cells are completely identical. Both types of cell come originally form stem cells, and therefore contain the exact same genetic material. The only difference between brain and heart cells is how they use that DNA code.
