It prevents the back flow of oxygenated blood to the pulmonary circuit. Heart valves are simple devices‚ and the heart – like any mechanical pump – can function with “leaky” valves as long as the impairment is not too great. However‚ severe valve deformities can seriously hamper cardiac function. (Marieb

Eventually when the heart is no longer able to compensate heart failure occurs; congestion will then follow‚ resulting in insufficient supply of blood to the body

Body fluids are maintained at a constant level by several homeostatic mechanisms: Osmosis- is the diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane known as a plasma membrane. Water is highly polar it is repelled by the lipid core (nonpolar) of the plasma membrane but can easily pass through the aquaporins created by the proteins in the membrane‚ so osmosis is happening all the time as water moves into and out of cells. Diffusion- Is where ions move away from an area where they are
