Tricuspid valve

from mixing there is a structure called an interventricular septum. The septum separates the cardiac chambers; right and left atria and the right and left ventricles. There are four valves, which regulate backflow to the chambers. There are two types of valves, which are the atrioventricular valves and the semilunar valves. The atrioventricular…

contains four chambers the left atria, right atria, left ventricle and right ventricle which pump the blood throughout the body. (Martini, Tallitsch and Timmons, 550). Furthermore, within the heart, are four valves called the tricuspid valve, the pulmonary valve, the mitral valve and the aortic valve which is responsible for the flow of the blood (Texas). Through elaborating on these structures, it will further highlight the role of each to the whole function of the Cardiovascular…

atrium from the top of the upper parts of your body. The right atrium pumps blood through the tricuspid valve and into the right ventricle. The tricuspid valve would open up once blood is ready to go to the right ventricle. Once blood has reached the right ventricle, the valve would close. The right ventricle’s job is to pump blood into the pulmonary valve and into the pulmonary artery. The pulmonary valve would open up once blood is ready to travel out of the heart through the pulmonary artery.…

increased blood velocity, structural valve defects, valve malfunctions, and abnormal chamber openings (Weber & Kelley, 2014). The heart has four chambers two atria, which are the upper chambers of the heart and two ventricles, which are the lower chambers of the heart. They are then further divided into left and right. Between the upper and lower chambers there are valves to prevent backflow of blood. Between the right atrium and right ventricle tricuspid valve and between…

its muscles & valves. • Congenital Heart Disease- Any abnormality with the heart at the time of birth.  Patent ductus arteriosus- ductus arteriosus fails to close after birth  Tetralogy of fallot- multiple defects causing deoxygenated blood to be carried throughout the body  Complete transposition of great vessels- abnormal arrangement of the great vessels  Atrial septal defect- hole in the wall between the atria  Tricuspid atresia- lack of formation of the tricuspid valve …

1. What is the function of the septum? of the left side of the heart? of the heart valves? The function of the septum is to separate the two sides of the heart. The left side of the heart takes in oxygen rich blood, the the valves prevents back flow of blood to the heart. 2. What is the function of the right side of the heart? the function of the right side of the heart is to pump deoxygenated blood into the pulmonary veins around the lungs. 3. What are the major blood vessels that bring…

The Human Heart: A General Description The heart is the main organ of the cardiovascular system in the human body. Its primary function is to pump oxygen- and nutrient-rich blood throughout the 60,000 miles of blood vessels that make up this system ("Heart, 2015"). About the size of a clenched fist, the heart is located in the middle of the chest, between the lungs and nestled behind the ribcage. It lies a little to the left of the sternum. The shape of the heart is reminiscent of an upside…

the breastbone. It has two major coronary arteries, electrical impulses, four chambers, and four valves to help the blood flow one way. Deoxygenated blood enters the right atrium from the superior and inferior vena cava. When the right atrium contract the blood flows through the tricuspid valve and into the right ventricle. When the right ventricle contracts the blood passes the pulmonary semilunar valve, into the pulmonary artery, and the blood is going to the lungs. The blood goes through a…

Identify or trace the path of a red blood cell through all anatomical/structural areas of the heart. The path of a RBC consist of it first beginning in the heart as the RBC transports oxygen into the aorta by the aortic valve through contracting of the left ventricle. From the aorta, the RBC then travels through an artery with the help of arterioles to reach the capillaries. When in the capillary, the oxygen molecule that is carried by the RBC then detaches and travels through the capillary into…

septum, and four main valves with which the blood makes its directional flow into and out of the heart. Deoxygentated blood with which the blood flows into and out of the organ. Deoxygenated blood enters through the venae cava fills the right atrium (RA) and right ventricle (RV) through the tricuspid valve. Then, RV contracts pushing the blood to pulmonary circuit and returns oxygenated from the lungs and travels to left atrium (LA) and left atrium (LA) through the mitral valve. Left ventricle…
