Question

Explain the mechanism of working of heart.

Answer 1

In order to understand why sudden death can happen, it helps to understand how the heart works.

The heart is a specialised muscle that contracts regularly and continuously, pumping blood to the body and the lungs. The pumping action is caused by a flow of electricity through the heart that repeats itself in a cycle. If this electrical activity is disrupted – for example by a disturbance in the heart’s rhythm known as an ‘arrhythmia’ – it can affect the heart’s ability to pump properly.

The heart’s natural pacemaker – the SA node – sends out regular electrical impulses from the top chamber (the atrium) causing it to contract and pump blood into the bottom chamber (the ventricle). The electrical impulse is then conducted to the ventricles through a form of ‘junction box’ called the AV node. The impulse spreads into the ventricles, causing the muscle to contract and to pump out the blood. The blood from the right ventricle goes to the lungs, and the blood from the left ventricle goes to the body

$\large\textbf{\underline{HERE\:IS\:YOUR\:ANSWER}}$

The heart is a muscular organ. It has different chambers to prevent the mixing of Oxygenated and De-oxygenated blood. The blood containing carbon dioxide has to reach the lungs to remove carbon dioxide and the oxygenated blood from the lungs has to brought back to the heart and then pumped to the rest of the body.

$\underline{Different\: parts\: of\: heart\:are:-}$

⏩ Left Atrium

⏩ Left Ventricle.

⏩ Right Atrium.

⏩ Right Ventricle.

⏩ Pulmonary arteries.

⏩ Pulmonary veins.

⏩ Upper Vena Cava.

⏩ Lower Vena Cava.

⏩ Septum.

⏩ Aorta.

$\huge\mathfrak{Working \:of \:heart}$

⭕️ Oxygenated blood from the lungs comes to the thin walled upper chamber of the heart on the left, the left atrium.

⭕️ The left atrium relaxed when it is collecting this blood. It then contrast, while the next chamber, the left ventricle, expands, so that the blood is transferred to it.

⭕️ When the muscular left ventricle contracts in its turn, the blood is pumped out to the body.

✔️ De-oxygenated blood comes from the body to the upper chamber on the right, the right atrium, as it expands.

✔️ As the right atrium contracts, the ventricle collects the blood.

✔️ Then this blood it pumped into the lungs for oxygenation.

✔️ Then it is brought back to heart and then pumped to the rest of the body.
