What are the differences between the left and right side of the human heart?

Answer 1

One difference between the left side and the right side of the heart is that the left side pumps blood to the body and the right side pumps blood to the lungs. Another difference is that the right side has a tricuspid valve and the left side has a mitral valve.

Answer 2

Blood enters the heart through the Superior Vena Cava, which leads to the right atrium of the heart. The blood is coming back to the heart from the body so it is UNoxygenated in the right side of the heart. The blood then goes to the right ventrical, through the pulmonary artery, and into the lungs where gas exchange takes place and the blood is re-oxygenated. The blood is then carried to the left atrium via the pulmonary veins. The blood is now in the left side of the heart and is oxygenated. From here the blood goes to the left ventrical, and is squeezed out of the heart through the aorta and back into the peripheral circulation where it will oxygenate tissues then return to the Vena Cava as to be re-oxygenated all over again.

Answer 3

The right side receives deoxygenated blood from the body(systemic circulation) and pumps it into the lungs to get oxygen. The left side receives oxygenated blood from the lungs and pumps it into the body. The left side has a thicker pumping muscle because it has farther to pump.

Answer 4

The left side deals with oxygenated blood. The left atrium (top left quarter) receives blood from the right ventricle (bottom right quarter). The blood flows from the left atrium to the left ventricle and as then pumped into the body as oxygenated blood.

The right side only deals with deoxygenated blood. Deoxygenated blood from the body comes into the right atrium (top right quarter) and then flows down to the right ventricle (bottom right corner) and then is pumped to the lungs where oxygen is diffused into the blood.

Answer 5

The right side of your heart pumps in oxygen poor blood that came from your body. It is usually described as "blue blood" but it is actually red. The left side of your heart pumps in oxygen rich blood, that comes from the lungs, to the rest of your body.

Answer 6

the blood on the right side is the same as the blood on the left

Answer 7

the left side is bigger
