Asker's rating. 1  Fred is correct the smaller the number the bigger the metal. 2  12 gauge is thinner than 7 gauge. 3  The gague refers to the thickness of the metal in question. the issue of strenght is really determines by the type of metal, not necessarily it's thickness.
The left ventricle pumps oxygen-rich blood out of the heart and into an artery called the aorta. From the aorta, blood branches out into a series of ever smaller tube-like vessels: arteries, arterioles and finally capillaries. The capillaries deliver the blood's oxygen and nutrients to cells.
The following is a step-by-step description of how the valves function normally in the left ventricle: When the left ventricle relaxes, the aortic valve closes and the mitral valve opens, to allow blood to flow from the left atrium into the left ventricle.The left atrium contracts, allowing even more blood to flow into the left ventricle.hen the left ventricle relaxes, the aortic valve closes and the mitral valve opens, to allow blood to flow from the left atrium into the left ventricle.
