 HEART VALVES
Heart valves play a crucial role in the
circulatory system by regulating blood flow
within the heart.

TYPES OF HEART VALVES:

AORTIC VALVE: CONNECTS THE LEFT VENTRICLE TO THE AORTA,
ENSURING OXYGENATED BLOOD IS PUMPED OUT TO THE BODY.
MITRAL (BICUSPID) VALVE: SEPARATES THE LEFT ATRIUM AND
VENTRICLE, ALLOWING BLOOD TO FLOW FROM THE ATRIUM TO
THE VENTRICLE.
TRICUSPID VALVE: FOUND BETWEEN THE RIGHT ATRIUM AND
VENTRICLE, FACILITATING BLOOD FLOW ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF
THE HEART.
PULMONARY VALVE: CONNECTS THE RIGHT VENTRICLE TO THE
PULMONARY ARTERY, DIRECTING BLOOD TO THE LUNGS FOR
OXYGENATION.
 TIPS TO HAVE
A HEALTHY
BLOOD
CIRCULATION
THESE ARE SOME TIPS YOU CAN DO
TO KEEP A HEALTHY BLOOD
CIRCULATION:
-AVOID SMOKING
-EXERCISE
-EATING HEALTHY
- LIVE WITHOUT STRESS

ALSO, DRINKING AT LEAST 2 LITRES OF

WATER A DAY, IT’S THE NECESSARY FOR A
HUMAN BEING TO BE ENERGETIC AND
ACTIVE.
 BLOOD
BLOOD COMES INTO THE RIGHT ATRIUM FROM
THE BODY, MOVES INTO THE RIGHT
VENTRICLE AND IS PUSHED INTO THE
PULMONARY ARTERIES IN THE LUNGS. AFTER
PICKING UP OXYGEN, THE BLOOD TRAVELS BACK
TO THE HEART THROUGH THE
PULMONARY VEINS INTO THE LEFT ATRIUM, TO
THE LEFT VENTRICLE AND OUT TO THE
BODY'S TISSUES THROUGH THE AORTA.

HOWEVER, A PROBLEM OF THE BLOOD VESSELS

FLOW RESISTANCE IS DUE
TO VESSEL DIAMETER. AS VESSEL DIAMETER
DECREASES, THE RESISTANCE
INCREASES AND BLOOD FLOW DECREASES.
CONSEQUENCES OF
POOR BLOOD
CIRCULATION
Higher Chance of Heart Problems
Bad blood circulation can lead to a buildup of
stuff in your arteries, causing heart issues
like heart disease, strokes, and problems
with your blood vessels.
Feeling Cold and Numb
When your blood isn't flowing well, your
hands and feet might feel cold, numb, or
tingly. It's like when your foot falls asleep,
but it happens more often.
Slow Healing of Cuts and Bruises
If your blood isn't moving as it should, your
body has a harder time fixing itself. So, cuts
and bruises might take longer to get better.
