The heart is a single organ, but it functions as a double pump sending oxygen-depleted blood to the lungs to pick-up oxygen and unload carbon dioxide, while simultaneously sending oxygen-loaded blood coming from the lungs to cells throughout the body. The heart's right ventricle pumps blood to the lungs, while the left ventricle pumps the oxygenated blood to the body cells.
