    The blood flows through our heart in a series of different steps and factors. Oxygen flows into the heart through the right atrium where at this time the tricuspid valve is closed, allowing the blood to fill the right atrium. Next, the muscle walls of the right atrium contract and push the blood through the tricuspid valve into the right ventricle. Once this occurs the right ventricle contracts and pushes the blood through the pulmonic valve into the pulmonary artery. The oxygen rich blood is then returned from the lungs to the left sides of the heart and into the left atrium. The contract of the muscle of the left atrium pushes the blood out into the left ventricle. Finally once the left ventricle fills with blood the muscle walls contract pushing blood into the aorta and throughout the body (Thibodeau, 2008).…

    Blood enters the heart through the Superior Vena Cava which is the large vein at the top of the heart, and the Inferior Vena Cava, which is the large vein at the bottom of the heart. Blood flows into the right atrium, passes through the tricuspid valve, and makes its way into the right ventricle. It then moves through the pulmonic valve, into the pulmonary artery to the lungs.” After picking up oxygen in the lungs, the blood moves out of the lungs into the pulmonary vein, into the left atrium, through the mitral valve, and into the left ventricle that pushes blood to the body through the aortic valve. Once blood leaves the heart it is in the aorta where it flows to various parts of the body” (Whitlock, J. 2017).…

    Age Related Changes in the Cardiovascular System

    There are four chambers in the heart, two atria and two ventricles. The atria are the upper receiving chambers and the ventricles are the lower pumping chambers. The right side of the heart contains deoxygenated blood and the left carries oxygenated blood. The right atrium receives blood from three veins, superior vena cava, inferior vena cava, and coronary sinus. The right ventricle forms the most outer surface of the heart. The left atrium receives blood from the lungs through four pulmonary veins. The left ventricle is the thickest chamber in the whole heart and forms the apex (bottom) of the heart.…

    Moving right along, we now can see the right atria. The right atria is part of the heart, which is the upper chamber, which receives the de-oxygenated blood form our body from the vena cava and is then pumped into the right ventricle of the heart, which is the lower chamber of the heart. After it has done so it will move its way to the lungs under low pressure, which is via the pulmonary artery and there the blood will be turned into oxygenated blood. Between the right atria and the right ventricle…

    P4 - explain the physiology of two named body systems in relation to energy metabolism in the body

    The heart is located between lungs and it is protected by the rib cage, it is thought to be the same size as a closed fist. The heart is protected a membrane called pericardium, this membrane contains a film of fluid which helps prevent fiction. Each side of the heart consist of an atrium and a ventricle. The right side of the heart carries deoxygenated blood through the veins to the lungs, and the left side of the heart pumps oxygenated blood through the arteries around the body. The heart is separated by a septum. “Each of the four heart chambers has a major blood vessels entering or leaving it. Veins enter the atria, and arteries leave the ventricles” (Strech, Beryl; Whitehouse, Mary;, 2010) The pulmonary circulation is the circulation to and from the lungs. The pulmonary artery carries deoxygenated blood this leaves the right ventricle to go to the lungs and the blood is separated between the two lungs and the pulmonary blood then carries oxygenated blood and then enters the left atrium. The main artery which is located leaving the left ventricle is called the aorta. The main vein which is located entering the right atrium is called the vena cava. The vena cava has two part (branches), these two parts are called the superior vena cava and the inferior vena cava. The superior vena cava returns blood from the neck and brain. The inferior vena cava returns blood from the rest of the body. The blood can only flow one way so there are 2 sets of valves which are between th atrium and the ventricles. These valves are called the right and left…
