What happens to the mitral and the tricuspid valve when the ventricle contracts

Biology
1 answer:
Dmitrij [34]3 years ago
7 0
These valves (more generally called the atrioventricular valves) are there to prevent back flow of blood from the ventricles to the atria when the ventricles contract. The same thing happens in both of them:


As the ventricles contract, the pressure in the ventricles increases. This, due to the fact that the valves are one way valves, causes the tricuspid and mitral valves to clamp shut. Then, as the ventricles keep on contracting, and blood is pushed upwards, is it prevented from travelling back into the atria and must travel out of the semilunar valves, through to the aorta and pulmonary artery and out of the hear.

Como cambia el tamaño de la población en cada nivel trofico?
Kitty [74]

Answer:

El tamaño de la población cambia porque cuanto más alto se mira en la cadena alimentaria, menor es el número de organismos que ocupan ese nivel. Esto se debe a que la energía que está disponible de un nivel al siguiente tiene que disminuir, ya que se utiliza para el proceso de la vida.
