Structure of Heart:
Heart is a muscular organ of a size of our clenched fist. The Heart pumps the Blood which is carried out by the Blood Vessels known as Veins and Arteries. Our body has a huge network of these Blood Vessels.
The Heart is divided into four chambers which are...
Right Atrium
Left Atrium
Right Ventricle
Left Ventricle
The Atrium chambers are small and thin walled as compared to Ventricles. The artia receive deoxygenated blood with the help of the Veins and deliver this Blood to the Lungs where oxygen added to the Blood. The Ventricles pump oxygen rich blood into the Arteries, which get circulated to all body parts. The blood carries nutrients, minerals and oxygen. Every cell need oxygen and nutrients to function properly.
The most important function of Heart is that it regulates the Blood Pressure. And this portion is dealt with separately on this portal in High Blood Pressure
