what are the two Phases of The beating of the heart?
systolic phase:
Diastolic phase:
systolic phase:
the heart muscle contracts, blood is pushed out, and blood pressure increases.
Diastolic phase:
occurs between contractions, as the heart muscle relaxes, blood flows in, and blood pressure drops to its minimum
Normal Systolic blood pressure (BP):
less than 120 mmHg (millimetres of mercury),
Normal diastolic BP
less than 80 mmHg, is considered normal.
elevated systolic blood pressure
between 120 and 129
Elevated blood pressure:
When blood pressure rises above normal levels,
elevated diastolic BP:
less than 80
Stage 1 hypertension:
systolic: between 130 and 139
diastolic: between 80 and 89,
Stage 2 hypertension:
systolic: above 140
diastolic: above 90,
Stage 2 hypertension: hypertensive crisis
systolic: above 180
diastolic: above 120.
4 chambers of the human heart
the right atria:
left atria:
the right ventricles:
left ventricles:
ware is the right atria located in the heart?
in the upper right section of the heart;
ware is left atria located in the heart?
in the upper left section of the heart;
ware is the right ventricles located in the heart?
the lower right section of the heart
ware is the left ventricles located in the heart?
in the lower left section of the heart
how does the heart flow?
O2-depleted blood returns to the heart from the body through the superior and inferior vena cava
The blood is pumped from the right atrium to the right ventricle
Then blood flows through the capillaries of the lungs which is where it picks up fresh O2 and Disposes of CO2
The freshly oxygenated blood is pumped through the pulmonary vein into the left atrium.
from there into the left ventricle from which it flows to the atrial system
the first step of the heart flow
O2-depleted blood returns to the heart from the body through the superior and inferior vena cava
second step of step of the heart flow
The blood is pumped from the right atrium to the right ventricle
3rd step of step of the heart flow
Then blood flows through the capillaries of the lungs which is where it picks up fresh O2 and Disposes of CO2
4th step of step of the heart flow
The freshly oxygenated blood is pumped through the pulmonary bein into the left atrium
