What are the parts found at the left of the heart and right of the heart?

Answer 1

In the right side of the heart, there are the superior and inferior vena cavas. They bring deoxygenated blood from the rest of the body to the heart. The deoxygenated blood enters the right atrium of the heart and is pumped to the right ventricle. They are chambers which temporarily stores blood until they are pumped out. In between the two is the tricuspid valve which prevents the backflow of blood from the ventricle to the atrium when the ventricle contracts. When the ventricle contracts, blood is then forced out the semi-lunar valves and into the pulmonary artery, which is also on the left of the heart.

In the left of the heart, there is the pulmonary vein, which brings oxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart (the left atrium) . The left atrium and the left ventricle are chambers as well. The bicuspid valve in between the two act like the tricuspid valve in the other side of the heart. When the left ventricle contracts, blood is forced out the semi lunar valves and into the aorta, through which blood is pumped out of the heart and around the body.

In between the left and the right sides of the heart there is the septum, which separates the chambers of the heart and prevents the mixing of blood in the heart, which may lead to inefficiency of oxygen transport.
