How many chambers are present in human heart?

The dog's circulatory system is quite similar to that of humans. The heart has four chambers. The two upper chambers are the left and right atria, while the stronger, lower chambers are the right and left ventricles.


Which is the innermost layer of heart which is in contact with blood flowing through its chambers?

The innermost layer of the heart that is in contact with the blood flowing through its chambers is the endocardium. This layer is a thin membrane that lines the inner surface of the heart chambers and valves, helping to regulate blood flow and prevent clot formation within the heart.

What is the scientific name for the contraction of the heart?

The scientific term for the contraction of the heart is "systole." This is when the heart muscle contracts to pump blood out of the heart's chambers and into the circulatory system.


One of two valves dividing the upper and lower chambers?

The upper chambers of the heart are called auricles/atria and the lower chambers of the heart are called ventricles. The valve between the left atrium and the left ventricle is called the Bicuspid valve/Mitral valve. The valve between the right atrium and the right ventricle is called the Tricuspid valve.
