The heart is a major organ of the body that is found in the circulatory system. It pumps blood throughout the blood vessels. Questions related to the heart should be put here.

What is the valve between the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery?
The pulmonary or pulmonic valve (a semilunar valve) controls blood flow from the right ventricle to the "pulmonary trunk" that branches into the two pulmonary arteries carrying blood to the lungs.
Where is a chimps heart located?
A chimps heart is located in the exact place a humans is, right behind the sternum.
Blood enters the heart from the general body circulation through the superior and inferior?
Vena Cava.
Is shedding around 40 hairs a day normal for a 15 year old girl?
Humans can lose between 50-125 hairs a day normally, so 40 hairs is no way excessive and there are probably more being lost that you don't notice.
What is the test to look at the heart through esophageal test?
Transesophageal echocardiography, also known as TEE, or heart ultrasound with endoscopy. TEE uses a small probe guided into the esophagus while the patient is sedated to closely evaluate the heart and blood vessels within the chest. The TEE transducer works the same as the one used in a regular echocardiogram. However, a clearer image of the heart can be obtained, because the sound waves do not have to pass through skin, muscle, or bone tissue.
Can you get heart disease from alcohol?
Heart disease, atherosclerosis, elevated cholesterol, and several other cardiovascular problems.
The left atrium. The blood has just returned from the lungs, so it is oxygenated. The left atrium will empty into the left ventricle, which can pump this newly oxygenated blood to the rest of the body.
Where does the blood have to pass through from the left atrium to the left ventricle?
Blood enters the heart through two large veins, the inferior and superior vena cava, emptying oxygen-poor blood from the body into the right atrium. The pulmonary vein empties oxygen-rich blood, from the lungs into the left atrium. Atrial contraction:blood flows from your right atrium into your right ventricle through the open tricuspid valve.When the ventricles are full, the tricuspid valve shuts. This prevents blood from flowing backward into the atria while the ventricles contract (squeeze). Atrial contraction: blood flows from your left atrium into your left ventricle through the open mitral valve. When the ventricles are full, the mitral valve shuts. This prevents blood from flowing backward into the atria while the ventricles contract (squeeze.) Ventricular contraction: blood leaves the heart through the pulmonic valve, into the pulmonary artery and to the lungs.Ventricular contraction: blood leaves the heart through the aortic valve, into the aorta and to the body. This pattern is repeated over and over, causing blood to flow continuously to the heart, lungs and body.
no. I'm 20 and very healthy and my heart rate is 100, so you are great.
How does the blood transport nutrients to the different parts of the body?
Your heart pumps the blood to all parts of the body through the arterial system. There are progressively smaller and smaller branches of the arteries to supply the oxygen and nutrients to all the cells of the body. It will be very interesting to visualize the three dimensional view of the micro-circulation.
it's common with woman around menstruation from hormones but you should let your physician know so that he can rule out any other issues.
Chamber of heart that contains oxygenated blood?
As veins flow TOWARDS the heart, the PULMONARY VEINS are the only veins that carry oxygenated blood from the lungs to the LEFT ATRIUM.
When Can You Most Likely Get A Heart Attack?
The older you are, the more likely you are to have heart disease. That being said, there are many people in their 30s and 40s who suffer heart attacks and other heart problems (and sometimes even younger than that).

Can benadryl speed up your heart rate?
Benadryl has the potential speed up your heart rate as an adverse reaction, specifically palpitations.
This drug should be used with caution in patients with Heart Disease and/or High Blood Pressure. This is because the cardiovascular adverse effects can be serious to those people with these conditions. These effects include a change in blood pressure, palpitations, and tightness in the chest.
What is the frequency of the human heart?
At resting state, it can average around 60 - 73 beats per minute.
Cocaine users are susceptible to feeling a number of serious side effects with use of the drug. Heart symptoms, breathing, and risk of stroke are some of these side effects.
