Inte Heart presentation

The top chambers of the heart, the left and right atrium, are called the atria and are in charge of
receiving blood that is being returned to the heart. Blood from the body enters the right atrium
deoxygenated, while blood from the lungs enters the left atrium oxygenated. Because oxygen-rich blood
is pumped to the remainder of the body and deoxygenated blood is directed to the lungs for
oxygenation, this segregation ensures effective circulation.

Ventricles (Lower Chambers):

Similar to the atria, the heart has two ventricles—the left ventricle and the right ventricle. The primary
role of the ventricles is to pump blood out of the heart. The right ventricle propels deoxygenated blood
to the lungs for oxygenation, while the left ventricle pumps oxygenated blood to circulate throughout
the rest of the body. This efficient separation ensures that oxygen-rich blood is directed to the body's
tissues, while deoxygenated blood is sent to the lungs for renewal.

Heart Valves:

The heart features four valves that control the flow of blood between its chambers. On the right side,
there are the tricuspid valve and pulmonary valve, while on the left side, there are the mitral valve and
aortic valve. These valves play a crucial role in maintaining unidirectional blood flow, preventing
backflow, and ensuring the efficiency of the circulatory system. The tricuspid and mitral valves separate
the atria from the ventricles, while the pulmonary and aortic valves guard the exits of the right and left
ventricles, respectively.

Septum:

The septum serves as a muscular wall within the heart, effectively separating the right and left sides. This
partition prevents the mixing of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood, ensuring a precise circulation
pattern. By maintaining this separation, the septum guarantees that oxygen-rich blood is efficiently
pumped to the body's tissues, while deoxygenated blood is directed to the lungs for vital oxygenation.
