Blood enters the heart through two large veins, the inferior and superior vena cava, emptying oxygen-poorblood from the body into the right atrium of the heart.i As the ventricle contracts, blood leaves the heartthrough the pulmonic valve, into the pulmonary artery and to the lungs where it is oxygenated

How does blood flow through the heart step by step?

Blood from the body flows:

1. to the superior and inferior vena cava,
2. then to the right atrium.
3. through the tricuspid valve.
4. to the right ventricle.
5. through the pulmonic valve.
6. to the pulmonary artery.
7. to the lungs

To explain how blood flow enters and leaves the heart, we need to separate the bloodstream into two processes.

The first process is called a small circulation, which is the process that allows blood to pass between the heart and lungs. In this process, venous blood, which is a blood low in oxygen, is bombarded by the right ventricle of the heart to the pulmonary artery, which allows blood to leave the heart and be distributed to the right lung and the left lung. Within the lungs, blood settles into the capillaries of the alveoli, expelling carbon dioxide and absorbing oxygen. Once oxygenated, blood is transported from the lungs to the heart, through the pulmonary vein that transfers blood to the left atrium.

The second process is called a large circulation that represents the blood flow that leaves the heart and is distributed by the cells of the body. In this process, blood already rich in oxygen is transported from the left atrium to the left ventricle. Once there, the blood will be transported to the aorta, which has the function of distributing this blood to all tissues of the body.

Upon reaching the tissues, the blood allows the tissues to absorb all the oxygen and release carbon dioxide that is absorbed by the blood, making it venous once again. After that, the blood uses the aorta to walk back to the heart, entering the right atrium and starting blood flow again.

If a man and a woman, each with sickle-cell trait, were planning to marry, what information could you provide them regarding the

kiruha [24]

Answer:

I'll inform them that the possibility of all their future children/offspring being phenotypically sickle-celled is very high.

Explanation:

Sickle cell is an inherited disease condition in which the red blood cells of the blood loses its shape and hence, dies or gets broken down. It has to do with the blood genotype of an individual. There are three major types of blood genotypes in humans namely: AA, AS, and SS. SS is the recessive genotype that codes for the sickle cell trait.

Hence, a human with the sickle cell trait has a genotype- SS. Therefore, according to this question, a man and a woman, each with sickle-cell trait (SS), were planning to marry, This will mean that both the man and the woman will always produce a gamete with S allele, which will combine to form an SS offspring. In other words, all of the offsprings of this man and woman will be sickle-celled.
