A Peek at Perfect Pump Performance of the Right Heart

The heart receives blood from the body, processes the volume of blood by integrating the signals coming from the rest of the body (neural and hormonal), and works out just what the body needs, and then pumps out with tailored strength, volume, pressure and velocity the perfect amount of blood needed  -(not too little – not too much – but just right!)

Description

“A Peek at Perfect Pump Performance of the Right Heart”  shows the right side of the heart and demonstrates the basic elements of its physiology.  The heart receives blood from the body, processes the volume of blood by integrating the signals coming from the rest of the body (neural and hormonal), and works out just what the body needs, and then pumps out with tailored strength, volume, pressure and velocity the perfect amount of blood needed  -(not too little – not too much – but just right!)
