Sequence of Events Blood Flow Through the Heart
Test your knowledge of the flow of blood through the heart by placing the following cardiac events in the proper
order. The first step has been provided to get you started. Arrange the subsequent events by inserting the numbers
2 through 18 in the spaces provided.
1. Deoxygenated blood flows through the superior and inferior vena cava and into the right atrium.
A. Blood fills the left atrium.
B. The right atrium contracts.
- C. The pulmonary valve closes.
D. Blood leaves the lungs via the pulmonary veins.
E. The left atrium contracts.
F. The pulmonary valve opens.
G. Blood flows into the aorta for distribution throughout the body.
H. The mitral valve closes.
1. The left ventricle contracts.
J. The aortic valve opens.
K. The right ventricle contracts.
L. The tricuspid valve opens.
M. Blood is pumped into the right and left pulmonary arteries and into the lungs.
N. Blood fills the left ventricle.
O. The mitral valve opens.

This is Anatomy and Physiology II related questions. More specifically on blood vessels. Please help me answer these questions, thank you :)
List all the blood vessels a blood cell from the left fibula vein would have to go through to arrive in the right ulnar artery. There is no left brachiocephalic artery. How does the anatomy of the left side of the body differ from the right in this region? What type of tissue creates a valve? A piece of the great saphenous vein is removed from the leg and used to bypass clots that form in the arteries that supply the heart muscle. Why doesn't the leg suffer from the removal of a piece of this vein?

The majority of the capillaries in skeletal muscles are (constantly filled with blood)(shut down during periods of rest). 3. Capillaries (take up)(release) wastes, such as carbon dioxide and ammonia. 4. Water (flows into)(moves into and out of) capillaries. 5. In diffusion, substances move from areas of (greater)(lesser) to (greater)(lesser) concentration. 6. The concentration of oxygen within capillaries is (greater than)(less than) the concentration of oxygen in the surrounding tissue fluid; therefore, oxygen diffuses (into)(out of) the capillaries. 7.

Starling's law of the heart states that the more the ventricle is stretched-within limits-the (less)(more) forcefully it will contract. 4. The force against which the heart must work to eject its volume of blood is called the (cardiac output)(afterload). 5.
