Question

If due to some injury the chordae tendinae of the tricuspid valve of human heart is partially non functional what will be the immediate effect ​a) The flow of blood into the pulmonary artery will be reduced
b) The flow of blood into aorta will be slowed down c) The 'pacemaker' will stop working d) The blood wil tend to flow back into left atrium

Answer 1

Dear student,
Answer is a) flow of blood into pulmonary artery will be reduced. Because tricuspid valve is partially nonfunctional which causes the back flow of blood into the right atrium when pumped into the pulmonary artery therefore amount of blood being pumped into pulmonary artery is reduced.
