tributing oxygenated blood to the organs and tissues. The
heart's right side—its right atrium and ventricle—serves to
pump the "dirty" oxygen-depleted blood to the lungs to be
cleaned.
When oxygenated blood reaches the heart, it is
received by the left atrium, the small upper cavity.
From there it is passed to the left ventricle, the large
chamber below. In a similar way, deoxygenated
