fibers (which in return causes the entire heart to contract). After going through the right atrium‚ when the heart contracts it opens up the tricuspid valve‚ therefore pushing the calcium into the right ventricle. When the heart contracts again (SA node contracts again through AV bundle and purkinje fibers) it causes the pulmonary semilunar valve to open and enters the pulmonary trunk and pulmonary arteries which then brings the blood into the lungs. Then it goes through a systemic loop (the tissue

saddened to tell you that you are dead‚ not that you would be able to hear me or care what I have to say. The four chambers consist of the right and left atrium and right and left atrium. Each of the chambers has valves. The tricuspid valve‚ mitral valve‚ pulmonary valve‚ and the aortic valve are their names. Their purpose is to allow blood to move forwards through the heart and to make sure that it doesn’t flow backwards into the previous chamber. A normal resting heart rate for adults range from

the right atrium causes the tricuspid valve to open and drain the blood to the right ventricle. Pressure of blood in the right ventricle causes the pulmonic valve to open and non-oxygenated blood is directed to the pulmonary artery then to the lungs. The exchange of gases occurs in the lungs. Highly oxygenated blood is returned to the heart via the pulmonary vein to the left atrium. From the left atrium the pressure of the oxygenated blood causes the mitral valve to open and drain the oxygenated blood
