Q

Why are walls of the ventricles thicker than the walls of the atria?

A

The walls of the ventricles are more thick because they need to pump blood to the entire body and out of the heart.

Q

What is the main function of capillaries?

A

Capillaries are tiny blood vessels that make sure your body gets what it needs and gets rid of what it doesn’t.

Their job is to exchange important stuff, like nutrients and waste, between your blood and your body’s tissues.

Q

Explain the steps in blood flow through the heart:

A
  1. Deoxygenated blood enters right atrium through superior and inferior vena cava
  2. Blood enters right ventricle through tricuspid valve
  3. Blood exits right ventricle through pulmonary valve and enters pulmonary artery
  4. Left and right pulmonary arteries send blood to the lungs, where gas exchange occurs
  5. Oxygenated blood returns to the heart via the pulmonary veins and enters the left atrium
  6. Blood enters left ventricle through mitral valve
  7. Blood exits left ventricle through through aortic valve to enter the aorta
  8. Blood enters to the aorta and the aorta distributes blood to the body

18
Q

Where does low oxygen go?

A

Deoxygenated blood enters the right atrium through the superior and inferior vena cavas
The triscupid valve opens and The blood enters the right ventricle. After that the triscupid valve closes to prevent backflow.
The right ventricle contracts and this causes the pulmonary valve to open. After the right ventricle empties, the pulmonary valve closes. Then the blood goes to the pulmonary artery
Lungs: The pulmonary artery carries the deoxygenated blood to the lungs, where it picks up oxygen and gets rid of carbon dioxide through the process of gas exchange.

Q

Where does oxygenated blood go?

A

Left Atrium: Oxygenated blood returns to the heart from the lungs through the pulmonary veins, and it enters the left atrium.
Left Ventricle: From the left atrium, the blood moves into the left ventricle.
Aorta: The left ventricle pumps the oxygenated blood out of the heart through the aorta, the body’s largest artery.
Body: The aorta carries the oxygenated blood to all parts of the body, delivering oxygen and nutrients to cells and tissues.

Q

Is there a connection between the right and left side of the heart?
