Best Answer

The heart is made up of four chambers. The two upper chambers are called atrium and the two lower chambers are called ventricles. The right side of the heart pumps blood to the lungs and exchanges carbon dioxide for oxygen, then returns to the left side of the heart, where the oxygenated blood is pumped back to the body. This cycle repeats endlessly.
