I ts acts as a pump regulator where it has 4 chambers.
keep in mind that out of four two take blood fromm all over the body while two transport ut to other organs through veins and capillaries.
the deoxygenated blood enters the heart through two large veins, the inferior and superior vena cava, emptying oxygen-poor blood from the body into the right atrium.
As the atrium contracts, blood flows from your right atrium into your right ventricle through the open tricuspid valve.
When the ventricle is full, the tricuspid valve shuts. This prevents blood from flowing backward into the right atrium while the ventricle contracts.
As the ventricle contracts, blood leaves the heart through the pulmonic valve, into the pulmonary artery and to the lungs, where it is oxygenated. The oxygenated blood then returns to the heart through the pulmonary veins.

Left side of the heart:
The pulmonary veins empty oxygen-rich blood from the lungs into the left atrium.
As the atrium contracts, blood flows from your left atrium into your left ventricle through the open mitral valve.
When the ventricle is full, the mitral valve shuts. This prevents blood from flowing backward into the atrium while the ventricle contracts.
As the ventricle contracts, blood leaves the heart through the aortic valve, into the aorta and to the body.

Which of the following statements is true?
Lelu [443]

Answer:

The true statement is: "Spring tides are the highest, while neap tides are the lowest."

Explanation:

  • The range of difference in the level of water between high and low tide is always larger in spring tide.
  • Neap tides are the moderate tides. It does not have huge difference in higher and low tides because the bulging of the ocean ( by the sun)  balances the bulge of the ocean caused by the moon.
  • This balance is not found in spring tides that is the main reason for spring tides to have the highest level for both higher and lower tides.
