It means you are a normal individual. The right side of the heart supplies flow to and from the lungs. The left side must provide flow to the entire rest of the body. As a result, the left side of the heart must be stronger, hence larger.

Why is the heart not on the center-line of the body?

Your heart is not on the center line of your body for several reasons. Your left ventricle has to pump a lot stronger than the right ventricle. Your left ventricle has to pump blood all over your body. Your right one just pumps blood to your lungs which are right there. The right side is smaller than your left side. Since the right side of your heart is smaller than the left side of your heart, that makes more room on the right side of your chest. Since your body will have more room on the right side of your chest than on the left side, that means your lung will have more room on your right side. Still, it will not have enough room to do anything. But, if It moves your heart a little bit more over to the left, it can put a lobe in your lung to the right. That way your lung can have three lobes on the right side and two lobes on the left side.

What are four chamber of the heart?

The four chambers of the heart are as follows:Left atriumRight atriumLeft ventricleRight ventricleThe blood travels from the body into the right atrium and is pumped through the right ventricle to the lungs. Here it exchanges gases and returns to the heart. It enters the left side of the heart and is pumped around the body. The left side of the heart has much further to pump the blood and is therefore larger and more muscular.Right Atrium, Left Atrium, Right Ventricle, Left VentricleRight Atrium, Left Atrium, Right Ventricle, Left VentricleThe heart has four chambers. The two ventricles (right and left) are muscular chambers that propel the blood out of the heart (the right ventricle to the lungs, and the left ventricle to all other organs). The two atria (right and left) hold the blood returning to the heart, and at just the right moment empty into the right and left ventricles.
