In all mammals, the heart is double pump. Each side of hte heart has an upper and lower chamber. The top chamber are called atriums and lower chamber are called ventricles. A one way flap called a valve connects the upper and lower chambers. when the heart muscle relaxes, blood flows through the open valves from the atriums into the ventricles. when the heart contracts, the flap is closed with a thump. the valve prevents the blood from moving back into the the atrium, and it is forced out of the heart through another opening. The sound from the valves can be heard through the tissues of the body and is often described as a lub-dub sound. I hope this helps everyone my son did this project for his science fair at Pioneer Academy of Science, Clifton NJ . Great project
