Normal heart anatomy and physiology need the atria and ventricles to work sequentially, contracting and relaxing to pump blood out of the heart and then to let the chambers refill. When blood leaves each chamber of the heart, it passes through a valve that is designed to prevent the backflow ...
The heart features four types of valves which regulate the flow of blood through the heart. These valves have been clearly shown in the labeled diagram of the heart. They permit blood flow in one direction only, and prevent backflow of blood. The four types of valves are: Tricuspid Valve T...

What is the correct order of blood flow from the heart? Oxygenated blood flows from the left ventricle to the aortic valve which, if open, allows the oxygenated blood to enter the aorta. The aorta is a main artery that is connected to many other main arteries, allowing for...
4. Aortic Semi-Lunar Valve: Located at the point of origin of aorta from left ventricle. Pacemaker tissues of the Heart: Certain tissues in the heart, concerned with the initiation (generation of impulse) and propagation (conduction) of the heart beat, are called “Pace- Mak...
It does this by alternating cycles of contraction and relaxation, in which the heart fills with blood and then ejects the blood into the blood vessels to be circulated throughout the body. What are the stages of the cardiac cycle? The cardiac cycle consists of two phases: systole and dia...

Heart valvesIntroduction:Severe aortic stenosis (AS) produces a typical systolic ejection sound detected by clinical auscultation with a characteristic feature on Doppler echocardiography (ECHO) & hemodynamics at cardiac catheterization (CC). We propose a new assessment of AS through 'infrasonic hemodyn...
The aortic valvebetween the left ventricle and aorta Pulmonic valve (also called pulmonary valve) between the right ventricle and pulmonary artery How the heart valves work The heart valves work the same way as one-way valves in the plumbing of your home. They prevent blood from flowing in th...
Heart, organ that serves as a pump to circulate the blood. It may be as simple as a straight tube, as in spiders and annelid worms, or as complex as the four-chambered double pump that is the center of the circulatory system in humans, other mammals, and
