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

Biology
1 answer:
Dmitrij [34]4 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.

Write a five sentence paragrgh explaining the cell cycle
Nady [450]

Answer:

The cell cycle is a cycle of stages that cells pass through to allow them to divide and produce new cells. It is sometimes referred to as the “cell division cycle” for that reason.

New cells are born through the division of their “parent” cell, producing two “daughter” cells from one single “parent” cell.

Daughter cells start life small, containing only half of the parent cell’s cytoplasm and only one copy of the DNA that is the cell’s “blueprint” or “source code” for survival. In order to divide and produce “daughter cells” of their own, the newborn cells must grow and produce more copies of vital cellular machinery – including their DNA.

The two main parts of the cell cycle are mitosis and interphase.

Mitosis is the phase of cell division, during which a “parent cell” divides to create two “daughter cells.”

The longest part of the cell cycle is called “interphase” – the phase of growth and DNA replication between mitotic cell divisions.

Both mitosis and interphase are divided into smaller sub-phases which need to be executed in order for cell division, growth, and development to proceed smoothly. Here we will focus on interphase, as the phases of mitosis have been covered in our “Mitosis” article.

Interphase consists of at least three distinct stages during which the cell grows, produces new organelles, replicates its DNA, and finally divides.

inna [77]

I will answer the question accordingly so that it help you under stand it better.

Question A.

During an extreme heat wave, plants with white flowers survive better.

What mechanism is in work here?

Answer: Mechanism of Natural Selection will work here. This is called survival of the fittest which means the best color which fits in harsh conditions will dominate over others and will survive for longer time.

What is the effect on the gene pool?

Answer: The Frequency of white allele will increases because white color is the best fit to extreme heat wave.

Question B.

A person uproots the five closest plants, which all happen to have white flowers.

What mechanism is in work here?

Answer: The mechanism of gene flow will work here as color of flower represents genotype of flower.

What is the effect on the gene pool?

Answer: The Frequency of white allele will increases because genotype of white flowers is increased.
