73% Answer Correctly

fourth

third

second

first

What prevents blood pumped out of the ventricles from flowing back into the heart?

73% Answer Correctly

platelets

atria

valves

capillaries


Solution

The heart is the organ that drives the circulatory system. In humans, it consists of four chambers with two that collect blood called atria and two that pump blood called ventricles. The heart's valves prevent blood pumped out of the ventricles from flowing back into the heart.
