How does slow heart rate affect activity?

it affects you game because you do not have enough oxygen inside you and you need to be motivated to do something you should start with a warm up and then move onto a game to get the pulse and heartbeat racing

What occurs the flow of the blood of the heart is stopped?

If blood flow is cut off to a body part then the blood becomes deoxygenated and no fresh blood can enter and provide important nutrients. The body part typically darkens to black as the body part begins to rot basically. During this process you lose feeling and the limb goes cold.

What is the amount of blood ejected from the heart in one minute called?

What is the function of each chaber of heart?

Chambers of heart are normally named as Right Atrium, Right Ventricle, Left Atrium and Left ventricle. Each of the chambers has very important role. Right atrium receives blood which is oxygen depleted in nature from all parts of the body and then it pumps it to the right ventricle. Once blood reaches right ventricle it readily pumps it with the help of pulmonary artery into lungs. Now Left atrium receives oxygen-rich blood via pulmonary veins and transfers it to left ventricle. Now, left ventricle pumps oxygen rich blood to entire body with the help of aorta.

The heart pumps blood into two pathways called what?

PULMONARY to lungs and back

#2 The circulatory system keeps you alive. Every day people breathe in oxygen from the air which gets carried from the lungs to the tinniest of blood vessels, which take it in and transfer it to the blood stream. Blood carries oxygen to every cell of your being. The oxygen is needed to utilize the food you eat and without it we wouldn't exist.

When the right ventricle contacts the valve between the upper and lower chambers is open or closed?

When the right ventricle contracts, the valve between the upper chamber (right atrium) and the lower chamber (right ventricle) is closed. This closure prevents backflow of blood into the atrium. At the same time, the pulmonary valve opens, allowing blood to be pumped from the right ventricle into the pulmonary artery and towards the lungs for oxygenation.

What causes the valves to open and close during the heart cycle?

By minute electrical singles produced by the heart itself to open and close the valves.
