Howdy, iam Brett Roman, Have a pleasant day.
Whoa! Did you know that animals have 13 hearts parts? It’s true! From the atrium and ventricle to the pulmonary veins and arteries, there are a ton of different components that make up an animal’s heart. Let’s take a closer look at these amazing organs and explore all the different parts that keep them ticking.
Which Animal Has 13 Hearts Parts? [Solved]
Wow! Cockroaches have a pretty impressive heart - 13 chambers, long and thick. It’s located in the hemocoel’s pericardial sinus and each chamber gets oxygenated blood from the dorsal sinus through two Ostia or valvular holes. Pretty cool!
Atrium: The atrium is the upper chamber of the heart, which receives oxygen-rich blood from the lungs and pumps it into the ventricles.
Ventricles: The ventricles are two lower chambers of the heart that receive oxygen-poor blood from the atria and pump it out to other parts of the body.
Aorta: The aorta is a large artery that carries oxygen-rich blood away from the left ventricle to all parts of the body except for lungs.
Pulmonary Artery: The pulmonary artery carries oxygen-poor blood away from right ventricle to lungs for reoxygenation before returning to left atrium via pulmonary veins.
Mitral Valve: The mitral valve is located between left atrium and left ventricle, allowing only one way flow of blood from atrium to ventricle while preventing backflow into atrium during contraction phase (systole).
Tricuspid Valve: The tricuspid valve is located between right atrium and right ventricle, allowing only one way flow of blood from atrium to ventricle while preventing backflow into atrium during contraction phase (systole).
Pulmonary Veins: Pulmonary veins carry oxygen-rich blood away from lungs back to left side of heart (left atria)
Animals have some pretty amazing hearts! Thirteen parts make up the heart of most animals, including humans. From the atria and ventricles to the valves and septum, each part plays an important role in keeping us alive. Whoa! It’s incredible how these tiny pieces work together to keep our blood pumping.
