Chapter 15.7, Problem 16CC
Summary Introduction
To determine: The set of blood vessels in which blood will flow back if the left ventricle fails to pump.
Introduction: Heart is a muscular organ that pumps blood to the other parts of the body through the circulatory system. In humans, the heart is divided into four chambers, two atria, and two ventricles.
Summary Introduction
To determine: The organ in which edema will occur.
Introduction: When the fluid or blood traps in the tissues of the body, it makes the organ swelled. This swelling is known as the edema. Edema can be noticed on many parts of the body like legs, hands, abdomen, and so on.
