period of time a chamber contracts is called...

Answer 39

systole

Question 40

describe the blood flow starting from the vena cava

Answer 40

Deoxygenated blood enters the heart through the inferior and the superior vena cava from the body into the right atrium. Blood flows from the right atrium into the right ventricle through the tricuspid valve. Blood leaves the heart through the pulmonic valve into the pulmonary artery and flows to the lungs. The pulmonary vein carries oxygen-rich blood from the lungs into the left atrium. Blood flows from the left atrium into the left ventricle through the open mitral valve. Blood leaves the heart through the aortic valve into the aorta and to the rest of the body.
