1. Heart chambers & functions

Key Concepts & Definitions

  • Atria: The two upper chambers of the heart that receive blood; the right atrium receives deoxygenated blood from the body, and the left atrium receives oxygenated blood from the lungs.
  • Ventricles: The two lower chambers that pump blood out of the heart; the right ventricle pumps deoxygenated blood to the lungs, and the left ventricle pumps oxygenated blood to the body.
  • Septum: The muscular wall dividing the right and left sides of the heart, preventing the mixing of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood.
  • Valves: Structures (tricuspid, bicuspid/mitral, pulmonary, aortic) that prevent backflow of blood and ensure unidirectional flow through the heart chambers.
  • Coronary Circulation: The blood flow through the coronary arteries supplying the heart muscle with oxygen and nutrients.
