Blood Left Atrium Structure Receives Pulmonary Pumps Describe

The heart has four chambers: the right atrium receives deoxygenated blood from the body, the right ventricle pumps it to the lungs, the left atrium receives oxygenated blood from the lungs, and the left ventricle pumps it to the body. It is made of cardiac muscle supplied by coronary arteries and is surrounded by pericardial membranes.

Front Describe the structure of the heart & state what each chamber does
Back Structure of the heart:
  • Consists of four chambers - left and right atria, left and right ventricles
  • Right atrium receives blood from venae cavae, left atrium receives blood from the pulmonary vein
  • Right ventricle pumps blood into the pulmonary artery, right atrium pumps blood through the aorta
  • Made out of cardiac muscle, coronary arteries supply it with blood 
  • Surrounded by inelastic pericardial membranes
