The left side of the heart receives blood from the lungs which is rich in oxygen. The heart then pumps throughout the body.

What structure in the heart separate oxygenated blood from deoxygenated blood?
The structure in the heart that separates oxygenated blood from deoxygenated blood is the atria. These are the two sides of the heart and are separated by the interatrial septum.
What does the right heart do?
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!!!!
Why is the cardiovascular system a two loop system?
The cardiovascular system is called as such because it has two circuits.One is the systemic circuit in which the heart pumps blood through the systemic artery (Aorta) and receives blood from systemic veins (Superior and Inferior Vena Cava).And another one,the pulmonary circuit, in which the heart pumps blood through the pulmonary arteries and receives blood from the pulmonary veins.
Do blood vessels that enter and exit the heart carry oxygenated blood?
The blood vessels that enter the left side of the heart carry deoxygenated blood. The blood sent to the lungs via pulmonary arteries is also deoxygenated blood. The blood carried to the left side of the heart from lungs is oxygenated blood. The blood sent to the body via systemic arteries is oxygenated blood. So the right side of the heart deals with deoxygenated blood. Left side of the heart deals with oxygenated blood. The amount of blood flows is almost exactly same in both the sides of the heart. The only difference is you can measure the blood pressure from the greater circulation easily. So you tend to imagine that there is more blood in the greater circulation. The blood flow via pulmonary circulation can not be measured. So it is usually taken for granted and neglected. This blood flow is equally important.( Just like you take it for grated the gifts of the nature. Pure and fresh air, sunlight, rains and trees. Rather the ecosystem.)
Does the heart have a double pump?
Yes, the heart is a two part pump. The right side of the heart receives deoxygenated blood from the body and pumps it to the lungs. The left side of the heart receives oxygenated blood from the lungs and pumps it to the body.
Do oxygenated and deoxygenated blood mix in the heart?
No, the deoxygenated blood enters and leaves the heart through the right side and the oxygenated blood enters and leaves the heart through the left side. Both sides of the heart are separated by a wall called a septum. The wall between the left and right atria is the interatrial septum and the wall between the left and right ventricles is the interventricular septum.
What is the septum of the heart?
the septum seperates the left and right ventricles
What does each side of the human heart do?
Mitral valveAlso known as the "bicuspid valve" contains two flaps. The mitral valve gets its name from the resemblance to a bishop's mitre (a type of hat). It allows the blood to flow from the left atrium into the left ventricle. It is on the left side of the heart and has two cusps.A common complication of rheumatic fever is thickening and stenosis of the mitral valve.Tricuspid valveThe tricuspid valve is the three-flapped valve on the right side of the heart, between the right atrium and the right ventricle which stops the backflow of blood between the two. It has three cusps.
Why are there two separate sides to the heart?
the heart is separated into two sides so that it can carry out its function well. The right heart contains deoxygenated blood and the left heart with oxygenated blood. the two sides are separated from each other so that the blood from the two sides don't get mixed. this leads to effective oxygenation of the deoxygenated blood in the right heart through pulmonary circulation and effective oxygenation of the tissues in the different parts of the body by the oxygenated blood of the left heart through systemic circulation.
Why does the heart have two separate sides?
it has two separate parts because when the blood circulates around you're body, it needs to get pass other blood cells so it goes in the other part of the heart!!! XD play ourworld!! XD one side is for oxygenated blood and the other for deoxygenated blood. They also both do different things. Simone :)
What are the names of the two main sections of the heart?
The names of the two sides of the heart are the right heart and the left heart. The right heart is a low pressures pump that receives venous blood from the systemic circulation and pumps it to the lungs. The left heart is a high pressure pump which receives blood from the pulmonary veins and pumps it to the rest of the body via the aorta.
What are the functions of the right side of the heart?
