Valve

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…

Rheumatic heart disease is when the heart is damaged. It’s often damage to the valves of the heart. Rheumatic heart disease is a result of having rheumatic fever. It’s commonly seen in children in many developing countries around the world. To begin with, Rheumatic fever causes a person to have rheumatic heart disease. Rheumatic fever affects the connective tissues of the body, mostly the connective tissues of the heart, brain and the joints of the body. Rheumatic fever is associated with having…

contract causing the tricuspid valve to open and for blood to pass through into the right ventricle. Then when the right ventricle is ready to contract the tricuspid…

Atrioventricular valves, or AV valves, are located between the atria and ventricles. Between the right atrium and right ventricle, the tricuspid valves exist; and the mitral valve separates the left atrium and left ventricle. Chordae Tendineae, which are attached to the AV valves and anchored to the papillary muscles, allow one-way flow by preventing eversion of the valves. Semilunar valves separate the ventricles from the arterial system. The aortic valve separates the left ventricle…

malfunction has occurred. This process can be both difficult and perplexing even for the experienced clinician. The methods used to date have been based on clinical presentation of shunt malfunctions, clinical data, imaging techniques and evaluation of valve function in mechanical terms.4,…

Cardiac Cycle The cardiac cycle is the sequence of events that occur in the heart during one heart beat. It is how the heart operates, and what exactly happens when it contracts and relaxes. The heart is equipped with four chambers and one-way valves that work with precision to pump blood to and from the body. The heart regulates blood volume to support efficient circulation to the cells, tissues, organs, and systems. It provides oxygen and nutrients to the bodies tissue while also removing…

Since its inception in 1959, KSB Pumps Company Limited has achieved a leading position in the market and become the leader and manufacturer of pumps, valves and related systems provider in the country. Five decades of success of KSB Pumps Company have been compiled in a book 50 years of setting standards, documenting all the milestones the company has achieved since its inception. Important Events: March 12, 1964: Start of production facility 1964 marked the commencement of production in the…

away from heart. Separating the chambers are valves. The heart valves allow the blood to flow through the heart in one direction preventing backflow. The two types of valves are the atrioventricular valve and semilunar valve. The contraction of the heart is known as systole, and the relaxation is identified as the diastole. The heart has a pretty distinguishable beating sound to it caused by the closing of the heart valves. Along with chambers and valves the body has two circuits, pulmonary…

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 addition of the valves allowed the trumpet full use of the chromatic scale without sacrificing tone or volume. The use of pistons also allowed the trumpet’s overall tubing to be shorter allowing the harmonic series to begin an octave higher making the trumpet easier to…
