Textbook Question
Chapter 23, Problem 14TYK
Some babies are born with a small hole in the wall between the left and right ventricles. How might this affect the oxygen content of the blood pumped out of the heart into the systemic circuit?

Some babies are born with a heart defect in which the ventricles are connected to the wrong arteries—that is, the right ventricle sends blood to the aorta, and the left ventricle sends blood to the pulmonary trunk. What is the problem with this arrangement?
If the length of the diastolic filling phase is reduced by one half because the heart rate increases, would only half as much blood enter the ventricles?
Blood from the ventricles is “squeezed” out of the heart from the apex toward the great arteries. What features of the heart contribute to this sequence of contraction?

Blood travels through the bicuspid valve to the left atrium. Both the aortic and the pulmonary valves are semilunar valves. The mitral valve is an atrioventricular valve.arrow_forwardValves between which structures of the heart shown in the figure control the direction of the movement of oxygenated blood within the heart and as it is pumped to the systemic circuit?arrow_forward
- Some babies, called “blue babies,” are born with a small hole in the wall between their heart’s left and right ventricles. Why do you suppose they are called “blue”?

- VSD, or ventricular septal defect, is a condition that accounts for half of all congenital cardiovascular anomalies. In this condition, a hole exists in the septum, the muscular wall between the ventricles, which allows blood from the right and left side of the heart to mix.

- You have a young woman on your ward who is awaiting heart surgery. She is keen to know about the structure and function of the heart and asks you to explain the flow of blood through the heart from start to finish. She wants to hear anatomical names and learn about physiological processes ejecting blood from her heart, your response will help keep her distracted from thinking about her upcoming operation. a. Describe the flow of blood through the heart, naming each of the vessels bringing and taking blood to and from the heart. Include chambers of the heart and name structures in the correct sequence along the blood's pathway through the heart - begin with blood returning to the heart from the body and end with blood being ejected into the systemic circulation. Include the names of the valves and identify which valves are open and closed during each cardiac cycle.
