to force blood to the ventricles
The left atrium of the human heart (your right side, the surgeon's left) receives oxygenated blood from the lungs and pushes it through the mitral valve into the left ventricle. The left ventricle pushes the oxygenated blood out to the body.
left, right and middle
The right main bronchus, about 2.5 cm in length, is shorter, wider, and more nearly vertical than the left. Because it is in almost a direct line with the trachea--> foreign objects traversing the trachea are more likely to enter the right main bronchus.

The parts of the heart are:: Aorta Pulmonary Artery Superior Vena Cava Left Atrium Right Atrium Left ventricle heart muscle right ventricle inferior vena cava
The four chambers of a cow's heart are the same as a human's: left atrium, left ventricle, right atrium, right ventricle. In addition to the four main chambers, however, there are two accessory chambers that function as additions to the atrium. These are called the left and right auricles, and are outpouchings on the left and right atria respectively.
Its main function is to receive the blood that will then be pumped throughout the ventricles as well as the rest of the body.
The heart is divided up into four main parts; 1) The left and right atria 2) The left and right ventricles. The left and right side of the heart are completely separated from each other. The atria and ventricles are separated by by valves- the bicuspid valve separates the left ventricle and the left atria, and the tricuspid valve separates the right atria from the right ventricle. The valves ensure that blood flows in one direction only- from the atria to ventricle. The vena cava vein brings blood to the right atria. The pulmonary artery takes blood from the heart to the lungs from the right ventricle. The pulmonary vein brings blood from the lungs to the left atria. The aorta takes blood from the left ventricle and supplies the whole body. Two nodes are also important. The sino atrial node is the pacemaker area, located at the top middle of the right atria. This is an area of dominant excitable cells which generate action potentials which propagate throughout the heart and cause it to contract- cause the heart to beat. The atrial ventricular node is a secondary pacemaker area located between the right ventricle and atria, towards the medial line- middle of the heart. This also generates action potentials.

The left and right ventricles of the heart receive the blood from the left and right atria respectively. The ventricles then send blood into the arteries. So technically they send and receive, but I guess their main functions is to send blood to the body and lungs.
AnswerThe heart is divided into four main chambersthe two upper chambers are called the left atrium and the right atrium (plural atria), andthe two lower chambers are called the right and the left ventriclethe right ventricle is the lowest chamber
The main function of the left side of the human heart is to get oxygen to the cells.
I understand they have the same meaning as they do for any function in C; to separate the function name from its arguments.
No, only the heart pumps blood. The pulse you feel in the arteries is the blood that gets pumped around by the heart.Arteries carry blood away from the heart.Aside from the pulmonary and umbilical arteries, arteries carry oxygenated blood.
The heart has four chambers inside it. The upper two chambers of heart are called atria (singular atrium), and the lower two chambers of heart are called ventricles. Two atria receive blood from the two main veins. And the two transport blood to the entire body and the lungs. The left atrium is connected to the left ventricle through a valve V1 Similarly, the right atrium is connected to the right ventricle through valve V2.
The heart has two main valves..the one on the right is called the tricuspid valve and the one on the left side of the heart is called the mitral valve. The valves are located between the atria and the ventricles. There are four chambers in the human heart...a right and a left atrium and a right and a left ventricle. The heart is made of "filling stations" = the atria and "pumping stations" = the ventricles. The valves prevent blood from moving between the atria and ventricles during the pumping and filling processes. Once the atria are filled, the next beat of the heart moves the blood to the next chamber....either the right/left ventricle during systole (siss-toll-ee) or diastole (dye-ah-stoll-ee) The top number ( the "numerator") on your blood pressure reading is systolic pressure. The bottom number (the "denominator") is diastolic pressure, which indicates if you have hypertension. Without the valves, the blood doesn't stay in the proper chamber during an action of the heart muscle.
