The heart is divided into four chambers. I personally find it helpful, however, to think of the heart as being divided into two sides, instead, a left and right side. The right side of the heart is larger and more powerful than the right.
Dextrocardia is the term for the heart being on the right side of the thorax. I am not aware of a term for the heart being on the "wrong" side and far below the chest.
The right side of the heart takes the blood returning from the body and sends it to the lungs. It is high in carbon dioxide and low in oxygen. After the blood goes to the lungs it returns tot he left side of the heart to be pumped back out tot he body and it low in carbon dioxide and high in oxygen.
deoxygenated blood

As a pump
SEPTUM
A heart has 2 sides. Left side, right side.
Yes, there are four chambers in the heart.
We don't have any scientific explanation why the heart and circulatory system is the way it is, but we do know how it works. One side of the heart pumps blood from the heart to the lungs and back to the other side of the heart, getting rid of carbon dioxide and picking up oxygen. Then the other side of the heart pumps the oxygenated blood to every other part of the body and back to the heart again, getting rid of the oxygen and picking up carbon dioxide and other waste.
The chordae tendinae are connected to the atrioventricular valves. These are the valves that separate the atrium from the ventricle on each side of the heart.
The Septum seperates the 2 sides of the heart.
"The right side of the heart is completely separate from the left side by a wall of tissue called septum. Each side has two compartments, or chambers and upper chamber and lower chamber." ~Human Biology and Health; Science Explorer; Chapter 3, Sec. 1
the septum seperates the left and right ventricles
As you probably know, the heart has 2 sides, and 4 parts, 2 atrium's and ventricle's, the right side of the heart is responsible for taking in the de-oxygenated blood, and transferring it to the lungs, the lungs pump the newly oxygenated blood to the left side of the heart and then the heart pumps it everywhere around the body. I hope this helps you, i know this info helped me get an A+ in my science test!!!!
One side needs room for the heart.
