Q

describe a one-way valve
(AV) valves

A

a one-way valve separates each atrium from the ventricle beneath it.

they consist of flaps of tissue that open in only one direction.

the (AV) valve on the bottom right side is called the tricuspid valve.

and the (AV) valve on the left side is called mitral valve.

as the ventricles pump, blood pressure closes the AV valves, preventing blood from flowing backward from the ventricles to the atrium.

Q

when does phase one of the heartbeat happen?

Q

phase two of the heartbeat

A

arteries pump blood away from the heart

24
Q

what do veins do?

A

veins pump blood to the heart

25
Q

compare the lymphatic system with the cardiovascular system

A

smaller lymph vessels are similar to capillaries

larger lymph vessels are similar in structure to veins.

26
Q

key components of the lymphatic system

A

lymph (fluid), lymph nodes, lymph vessels.

27
Q

how does lymph move through the vessels?

A

squeezing skeletal muscles.

28
Q

the key function of the lymphatic system

A

-returns fluid that has collected in the tissues back to the bloodstream

-nodes may become swollen and tender when a person is sick, white blood cells fight disease, increased number of lymphocytes.
