You could say that, but you could say it functions as two pumps or one. As four pumps the (1)left and (2)right atrium pump blood into the left and right ventricles. Then the Left and Right ventricles pump blood into the (3)lungs and (4)body respectively. Looking at the heart as two pumps, the atriums (L and R) pump into the ventricles. As one pump, the heart circulates the blood in the body.

What is the organ of the heart which pumps blood?

What are four functions of the heart?
There are 4 chambers of the heart and here are what they do. The Right atria is where blood comes into this part from the vena cava and is pumped to the right ventricle The Right ventricle pumps blood to the lungs Left atria is where the blood returns to the heart through the left atria Left ventricle is where the blood is pumped from the aorta to the rest of the body
What makes up the heart?
The heart is a muscle that pumps blood throughout the body. In humans, it is made up of four chambers and enclosed in a sac called the pericardium.
What part of the heart is the squeezing chamber?
All four of the heart's chambers squeeze blood out into the corresponding chamber or artery. The right atrium pumps blood from the body into the right ventricle, and the right ventricle pumps that blood out of an artery that leads to the lungs. The blood then returns to the heart and is pumped by the left atrium to the left ventricle, which pumps the blood to the rest of the body.
What is the most used muscle in our bodies?
The heart, as it is a four-cambered muscle that continuously (we hope!) pumps blood round the body.
Why is the heart split into four parts?
The heart is split into four parts so as to be able to function properly. They four chambers are left and right atrium and left and right ventricles. Oxygen-poor blood is received by right atrium which pumps it to the right ventricle that takes it to the lungs. When blood is oxygenated, it is received by the left atrium which pumps it to the left ventricle to be circulated to the body.
What pumps the blood around the body?
The four parts of the heart; right atrium, right ventricle, left atrium and left ventricle, and the red blood cells.
Actual pumps of the heart are called?
The heart has four sections, each of which functions as a pump. These are, the right atrium, the right ventricle, the left atrium, and the left ventricle. Note that term atrium has replaced what was previously called an auricle. Not to be confused with an oracle, that's something completely different.
