Maroma Prelim Topics: Heart Valves Disturbance in Oxygenation - The four valves in the heart permit blood to flow in Coronary artery diseases only one direction. The valves, which are composed of Obstructive disorders thin leaflets of fibrous tissue, open and close in Restrictive disorders response to the movement of blood and pressure Hematologic Disorders - Peripheral Vascular changes within the chambers. There are two types of Disorders valves: atrioventricular and semilunar. Atrioventricular Valves ANTOMY OF THE HEART - The atrioventricular valves separate the atria from the Introduction ventricles. - The heart is a hollow, muscular organ located in the - The tricuspid valve, so named because it is composed of center of the thorax three cusps or leaflets, separates the right atrium from the - Mediastinum – where it occupies the space between the right ventricle.
