The heart is divided into two sides each side is divided again into two chambers the atrium upper chamber and ventricle lower chamber blood vessels veins carry blood to the heart from the rest of the body this blood carries carbon dioxide and cellular waste products the blood goes into the right atrium and then to the right ventricle where it is then pumped to the lungs to dispose of wastes and receive a fresh oxygen supply from the lungs the blood returns to the heart It returns to the left atrium and then to the left ventricle the blood is then pumped out of the heart by the left ventricle into the aorta the left ventricle is the chamber of the heart that is responsible for pumping blood to all parts of the body the aorta sends this blood to small arteries, which carry the oxygen-rich blood to the rest of the body. information obtained from http://www.besthearthealth.com/about.HTML
