Atria — function?
Receive blood into the heart.
Heart chambers — roles?
Atria receive blood; ventricles pump blood.
Ventricles — function?
Pump blood out of the heart.
Valves — function?
Prevent backflow; ensure unidirectional blood flow.
Septum — role?
Divides heart into right and left sides.
Valves — purpose?
Ensure unidirectional blood flow.
Coronary arteries — supply?
Oxygen and nutrients to the heart muscle.
Blood flow sequence?
Right atrium, right ventricle, lungs, left atrium, left ventricle, body.
Left ventricle — role?
Pumps oxygenated blood to the body.
