Why is mixing of oxgenated blood and deoxygenated blood not possible as blood flows through the heart?

Oxygen-rich blood is transported in arteries and oxygen-poor blood is transported in veins, which are distinct collections of blood vessels and never meet. The oxygen in oxygen-rich blood diffuses through cell walls and powers the metabolism of cells, leaving oxygen poor blood behind to be collected by veins and transported to the heart and lungs for reoxygenation.

∙ 10y agoIn humans heart chambers are separated. Oxgenated blood flows through left chamber to all the cells in human organism, deoxgenated blood flows through right chamber to lungs where it's being oxygenated and comes back to the the right chamber. In other animals (like amphibians and some raptiles) oxgenated and deoxygenated blood can mix.

∙ 12y agoOxygen rich blood and oxygen poor blood only mix if there is some kind of hole between the two atria or the two ventricles of the heart. If oxygen poor blood mixes with oxygen rich blood, then the blood flowing from the left side of the heart to the body would be deficient in oxygen, which can cause difficulties for the person in which this occurs. They will have shortness of breath and may not be able to participate in physical activities. This situation often results in heart surgery for affected children, and even in some adults, in order to close the hole.

Why does the heart separate the oxygenated and deoxygenated blood?
There are walls called septa between the two atria and the two ventricles that prevent this mixing. Unborn infants have an opening (foramen ovale) that does allow this and it should close right after birth.
