pulmonary valve
a one way valve where blood flows from the left atrium to the left ventricle
mitral valve
a one way valve where blood flows fromt the left ventricle to the rest of the body
aortic valve
an artery where oxygenated blood flows from the left ventricle to the stamache and legs
abdominal artery
measures the force of the blood pressure against the walls when thee ventricle relax
diastole
measures the force of the blood pressure against the artery walls when the ventricle contract
systole
is the pressure of the blood against the artery walls ( normal blood pressure 120/180 mmhg)
