Document Summary

Volume of blood leaving left ventricle = volume of blood leaving right ventricle. Cardiac output = volume of blood leaving either ventricle per unit time. The volume of blood leaving the left ventricle (per contraction) must equal the volume of blood leaving the right ventricle (per contraction) even though the systemic circulation has a much larger total volume that the pulmonary circulation. The volume of blood leaving either atrium per contraction = the volume of blood leaving either ventricle (per contraction: ra 2. Cusps of right av (tricuspid) valve: between an atrium and a ventricle (blood goes from atrium to ventricle) Cusp of left av (bicuspid) valve (*tricuspid vs. bicuspid doesn"t matter) Pulmonary semilunar valve: connects the right ventricle to pulmonary circulation. During ventricular contraction, the av valves remain closed to prevent black flow to the atria. Flow of blood doesn"t reverse in the system because of one-way valves and mechanical stops: can only open in one direction.
