The information about the heart and the chambers:
How does the Circulatory System work? Well the heart plays a major role in how the system runs. The Circulatory System is seen as a huge blood distribution network and the heart, the main part of the system makes it possible for the blood to reach to our hands, feet and everywhere else.
The heart has too sides, the right and the left. Each side has a lower and upper chamber. The upper chambers consist of the “atrium” which is thin-walled. The atrium receives blood that enters the heart. Once it enters the heart it then pumps it to the ventricles in the lower heart chambers. In the lower chambers of the heart consist of the “ventricles”. The walls of the ventricles are thicker, they have more cardiac muscle then the atrium does which means that it can pump the blood to the lungs and to the rest of the body.
The circulatory system is seen as a blood distribution network. As the heart plays a huge role to getting the blood circulating the blood around the body the system works like this.
The right side of the heart, in the upper chamber, the atrium is able to receive blood that is carrying carbon dioxide or co2. The blood with the carbon dioxide is able to reach the right atrium via the vein, the vena cava. Once it has reached the atrium it then is delivered to the right ventricle. The right ventricle then pumps the blood to the lungs. Once the blood leave leaves the lungs it is now rich of oxygen or o2, after it has left the lungs it then is delivered to the left ventricle. The left ventricle pumps the rich oxygen blood into the aorta. The aorta is a very important artery it is also the largest and connects to all parts of the body. Once it has left the aorta it then goes into all the different veins and the blood full of oxygen, nutrients and food is disturbed and shared around your whole body.
