Question
Chapter 19.5, Problem 8AYLO
Summary Introduction
To discuss:
The necessary of the ventricle to eject the same average amount of blood; what happens if either ventricle ejects more than the other over an extended period.
Introduction:
The heart consists of four chambers a paired atrium and ventricles. Atrium passes down the blood to ventricles, and ventricles eventually pump it out through pulmonary trunk and aorta. The ventricles are thicker in their walls than the atrium in order to withstand its pressure while pumping out the blood.
