I am writing on the human heart. I will be explaining the functions and uses of the heart throughout this paper. The main focus will be on how important the heart is to our entire body’s running like a well-oiled machine and its absolute importance to our survival. The heart has four different chambers. Each side of the heart contains one ventricle and one atrium‚ meaning it has two ventricles and two atriums‚ one on each side. They are known as the right and left ventricles and the right

The deoxygenated blood must be pumped to the lungs‚ where it becomes oxygenated prior to be being pumped back to the rest
