Summary Introduction

To review:

Role of each of the four chambers of a mammalian heart in blood circulation.

Introduction:

The heart is an important organ of the body as it controls the circulatory system. Mammals and other animals have a four-chambered heart that leads to double circulation. The heart pumps blood toward the lungs and other parts of the body simultaneously.

How is the circulatorysystem of birds characterized?
The mammalian circulatory system includes a four- chambered heart and a double-loop circulation. How do the four chambers of the heart relate to the two circulatory loops?
Trace the flow of blood through a mammalian heart, naming the four chambers and their valves, and explaining where the blood entering each atrium comes from and where blood leaving each ventricle goes. When the ventricles contract, what prevents blood from reen-tering the atria? What factors cause blood to move forward at high pressure in the aorta?
