What makes an animal cold or warm blooded Is it because of some valves in the heart?
The terms actually don't have anything to do with blood except for the fact that blood helps move the heat throughout the body. Cold blooded, or exothermic animals are not able to regulate their internal temperatures. They have to sit in the sun to warm up and sit in the shade to cool off. Warm blooded, or endothermic animals can keep a pretty constant internal temperature. Ours is 98.6 degrees Farenheit. It actually has to do with the part of the brain that controls body regulation, not with the heart.

Is reptile a animal?
yes, it has a heart beat, it breaths, it may be cold blooded but it still has a life, so it is an animal!
How many valves are in a sheep's heart?
There are 2 valves in a sheep's heart. They are the mitral and tricuspid valve. The sheep also has a 4 chamber heart that is very similar to a human heart.
Do cold blooded animals have a heart?
Yes, cold-blooded animals like reptiles, amphibians, and fish have a heart to pump blood throughout their bodies. However, their circulatory systems may be different from warm-blooded animals, such as mammals and birds.
What do the chordate tendonae do?
Chordae tendineae: Thread-like bands of fibrous tissue which attach on one end to the edges of the tricuspid and mitral valves of the heart and on the other end to the papillary muscles, small muscles within the heart that serve to anchor the valves.
Is there a Bone in a Cows Heart?
No. A cow's heart is comprised of cardiac muscle and epidermis tissue that form the valves and chambers of the heart. Just like in humans, there is no bone in the heart of a cow or any other mammal for that matter.
Why does the heart need valves?
The reason why we need we need valves in our heart is because the valves in our heart will open and close. When the valves in our heart open, they allow blood to go into places in our body where blood is needed. When the blood passes through, the valve closes. They regulate the blood flow.
What is the function of the valves which connect the two heart chambers?
Valves prevent the backflow of blood.
Why does the human heart need valves?

Does a bird have heart chambers?
No it gets its thrust from its pectoral muscles which help it because of the unique shape and how the wind gives it speed
Why do the hearts valve close?
In a 4-chambered heart animal, the valves on the heart close to prevent back-flow from the ventricle into the atrium. In this way, the valves assure that the heart propels the blood forward with sufficient pressure and volume to reach all regions of the body.

What is the use of valves in the heart.?
The use of the valves in the heart is to have blood flow regularly through the heart. The valves pump blood out of the heart into the body.
What can heart valves be replaced with?
Heart valves can be replaced with mechanical valves, which are made from durable materials like metal or polymer, or biological valves, derived from animal tissues such as pig or cow heart valves. Additionally, some patients may receive human donor valves through a process known as allograft transplantation. The choice of valve type depends on factors like the patient's age, lifestyle, and specific medical conditions.
What is considered upper heart valves?
The upper heart valves are called atriums, and the lower heart valves are called ventricles.
Does blood capallaries have valves?
peripheral veins have valves to help get the blood back up to the heart but arteries do not because they have enough pressure from the pumping of the heart to get the blood out to the body.
Why is the blood going up to the heart does not flow backward because the veins that carry them have what?
Valves are present in veins to prevent the backward flow of blood. These valves help ensure that blood moves in only one direction toward the heart by closing when blood tries to flow in the wrong direction.
