      • The heart is split into a left and a right side, with each side having one atrium and one ventricle. The interventricular septum divides the heart into the left and right ventricles, and the interatrial septum divides the left and right atria.

  2. Each side of the heart consists of an atrium and a ventricle which are two connected chambers. The atria (plural of atrium) are where the blood collects when it enters the heart.

    The right ventricle receives deoxygenated blood from the right atrium, and pumps it through the pulmonary orifice (guarded by the pulmonary valve), into the pulmonary artery. It is triangular in shape, and forms the majority of the anterior border of the heart. The right ventricle can be divided into an inflow and outflow portion, which are separat...

    The interventricular septum separates the two ventricles, and is composed of a superior membranous part and an inferior muscularpart. The muscular part forms the majority of the septum and is the same thickness as the left ventricular wall. The membranous part is thinner, and part of the fibrous skeletonof the heart.

    The left ventricle receives oxygenated blood from the left atrium, and pumps it through the aortic orifice (guarded by the aortic valve) into the aorta. In the anatomical position, the left ventricle forms the apex of the heart, as well as the left and diaphragmatic borders. Much like the right ventricle, it can be divided into an inflow portion an...

  3. Aug 3, 2023 · The heart is divided into two sides by the interatrial and interventricular septa. Each half of the heart has two chambers: an atrium, and a lower chamber called the ventricle. The function of the atria is to collect and pump blood into the ventricles.

  4. Aug 17, 2023 · The right atrium and ventricle make up most of the sternocostal surface of the heart, while the diaphragmatic surface is made up by the right and left ventricles. The left atrium contributes to the anatomical base.

  5. The heart contains two upper chambers called atria and two lower chambers called ventricles. The left and right sides of the heart are separated by the septum. Valves prevent the backflow of blood and separate the atria from the ventricle and the ventricle from the pulmonary artery or aorta.

  6. The heart has two sides, right and left. The right and left sides of the heart each have an. Atrium: Upper chamber that collects blood and pumps it to the lower chamber. Ventricle: Lower chamber, which pumps blood out of the heart.

  7. The great veins, the superior and inferior venae cavae, and the great arteries, the aorta and pulmonary trunk, are attached to the superior surface of the heart, called the base. The base of the heart is located at the level of the third costal cartilage, as seen in Figure 19.2.
