Structure of the heart
What is the heart?
The heart is a pump
made of cardiac
muscle
Each time a blood cell
travels around the
body it passes through
the heart twice.

The structure of the heart
The heart has 4 chambers:
A lower chamber is called a ventricle.
An upper chamber is called an atrium (plural: atria).
right atrium
right ventricle
left atrium
left ventricle
Cardiac muscle
Septum

The structure of the heart
Why might the Cardiac muscle
be bigger on the left?
Vena Cava (deoxygenated
blood)
Pulmonary artery
(deoxygenated)
Aorta (oxygenated
blood)
Pulmonary vein
(oxygenated)
What is the job of the septum?

The circulatory system – the flow of blood
body’s cells
lungs
The right side
of the heart
pumps
Deoxygenated
blood to the
lungs and then
on to the left
side of the
heart
Oxygenated
blood from
the lungs
returns to the
left side of
the heart
Oxygenated
blood is pumped
by the left side
of the heart to
the body e.g.
legs and back to
the right side of
the heart.
Deoxygenated
blood returns to
the right hand
side of the
heart
