Do you need a diagram of the heart?
The diagram of heart is beneficial for Class 10 and 12 and is frequently asked in the examinations. A detailed explanation of the heart along with a well-labelled diagram is given for reference. The upper two chambers of the heart are called auricles.
How are the leaflets of the mitral and tricuspid valves supported?
The leaflets of the mitral and tricuspid valves are also supported by: Chordae tendineae: tough, fibrous strings. These are similar to the strings supporting a parachute. Papillary muscles: part of the inside walls of the ventricles. The chordae tendineae and papillary muscles keep the leaflets stable to prevent blood from flowing backward.
How are the ventricles and atria connected to each other?
Chambers of the Heart. The atria act as receiving chambers for blood, so they are connected to the veins that carry blood to the heart. The ventricles are the larger, stronger pumping chambers that send blood out of the heart. The ventricles are connected to the arteries that carry blood away from the heart.
How does the tricuspid valve in the heart work?
When the right ventricle is full, the tricuspid valve closes and keeps blood from flowing backward into the right atrium when the ventricle contracts (squeezes). When the left ventricle is full, the mitral valve closes and keeps blood from flowing backward into the left atrium when the ventricle contracts.
