Problem: Discussion response
Question: The body is supplied with deoxygenated blood, which is pumped back to the heart by the two largest veins (one draining the upper body and the other the lower body) these are known as the superior and inferior vena cava respectively. The two empty into the right atria. Through the tricuspid valve, the blood goes through the right ventricle, which is located on the right side. When the right ventricle contracts, it forces blood into the pulmonary semilunar valve and the blood enters the pulmonary trunk that branches into right and left pulmonary arteries, These arteries are fed with the deoxygenated blood to the lungs. Gas exchange in the lungs takes place in the alveoli, Carbon dioxide is earned out, and oxygen is introduced into the blood. The oxygenated blood is pumped back to the heart by the pulmonary veins, which drain in the left atrium. The left ventricle receives the blood through the mitral (bicuspid) valve of the left atrium, The Left ventricle is then the powerful one that pumps the blood through the aortic semilunar valve to the aorta. The aorta supplies the blood with oxygen to the systemic arteries supplying oxygen and nutrients to body tissues.) Need Assignment Help?
