Question

Why do you have a dedicated circulation pathway for the spleen, stomach, pancreas, gallbladder, and intestines that passes through the liver? What is it about those organs that makes the liver’s function critical to your health?


Why does your left ventricle need a much thicker muscle layer than the right ventricle?


How are systemic and pulmonary circulation interdependent? How do they rely on each other?

Please make each question super duper short and simple

Answer 1

1. **Why a pathway through the liver?** The liver processes nutrients and detoxifies blood from organs like the spleen and intestines, making it crucial for health.

2. **Why thicker left ventricle muscle?** The left ventricle pumps blood to the whole body, needing more muscle to generate higher pressure than the right ventricle, which only pumps to the lungs.

3. **How are systemic and pulmonary circulation interdependent?** They work together: the right side of the heart sends blood to the lungs (pulmonary) to get oxygen, and the left side pumps oxygen-rich blood to the body (systemic).
