The heart's structure

The heart is a two-sided pump with four chambers:The atria are the two upper chambers,
and the ventricles are the two lower chambers.

● The right atrium and right ventricle of the heart work together to pump
oxygen-deficient blood from the body back to the lungs for reoxygenation.
● The left atrium and left ventricle of the heart pump oxygenated blood back through
the body on the left side.
● The heart is divided into two sides by muscular walls known as septa or septum,
which prevent the two types of blood from mixing.

The heart's four valves are located inside the body.Each valve has flaps that stop blood from
flowing in the wrong direction. The flaps open to let blood flow forward, and they close to
stop blood from flowing backward.

The four chambers of the heart are attached to major veins or arteries that either bring blood
into the heart or carry it out.
 ● The tricuspid valve is between the right atrium and the right ventricle.
● The pulmonary valve is between the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery.
● The mitral valve is between the left atrium and the left ventricle.
● The aortic valve is between the left ventricle and the aorta.

● The oxygen-poor (blue) blood enters the right atrium through the body's two largest
veins, the superior and inferior vena cava.
● The tricuspid valve then directs this oxygen-depleted blood into the right
ventricle.After the blood has passed through, the tricuspid valve closes to prevent it
from returning to the right atrium.
● In order to deliver blood to the lungs, the right ventricle expands and contracts.
● Through the pulmonary valve, blood is pumped into the pulmonary artery by the right
ventricle.The pulmonary valve closes when blood enters the pulmonary artery to stop
blood from backflowing into the right ventricle.
● The pulmonary artery's two branches carry blood to both lungs.
● The blood moves carbon dioxide and oxygen out of the lungs.
● Through the pulmonary veins, red blood from the lungs enters the heart and is
carried into the left atrium as reoxygenated blood.
● The reoxygenated blood then enters the left ventricle through the mitral valve.In order
to prevent backflow, the mitral valve closes after the blood has passed through.
● After that, the left ventricle—the heart's most muscular chamber—contracts under
enough pressure to force blood into the aorta by passing through the aortic valve.The
aortic valve closes after blood passes through it to prevent blood from backflowing
into the left ventricle.
● As it transports blood throughout the body, the aorta branches into arteries,
arterioles, and capillaries.
● The blood receives its oxygen supply and absorbs carbon dioxide at the
capillaries.The procedure will then begin all over again as it returns to the heart via
the veins and the inferior and superior vena cava.
