Parts Of The Heart Flashcards

Our parts of the heart flashcards are a fun and interactive way to learn the different components of the heart. Each flashcard features an English word on one side and the definition on the other, making it easy to study and memorize the terms. With audio pronunciation included, you can practice saying the names of the parts of the heart correctly.

The heart is made up of four main parts: the left atrium, right atrium, left ventricle, and right ventricle. Each part has a specific role in pumping blood throughout the body. The left side of the heart receives oxygen-rich blood from the lungs and distributes it to the body, while the right side receives oxygen-poor blood from the body and returns it to the lungs to pick up oxygen. Together, these parts work in harmony to keep our bodies healthy and functioning correctly.

quick facts

  • The heart has four main parts: the atria, ventricles, valves, and septum.
  • The atria are the upper chambers of the heart that receive blood from the body and lungs.
  • The ventricles are the lower chambers of the heart that pump blood out to the body and lungs.
  • The valves in the heart control the flow of blood between the chambers and prevent it from flowing backwards.
  • The septum is a wall of muscle that separates the right and left sides of the heart, preventing oxygen-rich and oxygen-poor blood from mixing.
