The frog heart and human heart are similar in that there are two atria. Each atrium brings in either oxygen rich or oxygen deprived blood from the body, pumping it to the ventricle(s).

The difference between our hearts is that frogs have one ventricle while humans have two. Our human, two-ventricle system keeps oxygen rich and poor blood separated. In a frog both categories of blood are pumped into the same ventricle.

It is not good for the body to mix oxygen rich and poor blood, but the frog heart has specialized ridges of tissue which help to separate the two. So, although there is some mixing, enough unmixed blood gets to the right places.

Why does the human heart have 4 chambers?

The human heart has four chambers—two atria and two ventricles—to ensure efficient blood circulation throughout the body. The separation of oxygen-rich and oxygen-poor blood prevents mixing and allows for more efficient circulation through specialized pathways. This four-chamber design helps maximize the heart's ability to pump oxygenated blood to organs and tissues while removing waste products.
