    The main function of the human heart is to pump blood through the circulatory system, which consists of blood vessels that carry blood to and from all parts of the body. The heart has three major walls: the epicardium, myocardium, and endocardium. It contains four chambers - two upper atria that receive blood and two lower ventricles that pump blood out. The heart has two types of valves - atrioventricular valves that allow one-way flow between chambers and semi-lunar valves that prevent backflow into ventricles. The electrical system uses electrical signals to coordinate the heart's pumping action. An ECG traces these signals as P, Q, R, S, and T waves representing

    c) Human heart consists of four (4) chambers. Draw/ illustrate a human heart which consists of
    this four (4) chamber stated.
    Explain briefly the features and the main function of heart’s chambers.

    d) There are two (2) major types’ valves in human heart; atrioventricular valves and semi lunar
    valve.
    State all the valves under these types and explain the function of each valves stated.

    e) Explain in details the process of ‘the electrical system of the heart’.

    f) Figure 1 below shows normal ECG signal of a human.
