Answer for screen readers

The heart is composed of four chambers: the left and right atria (upper chambers) and the left and right ventricles (lower chambers). It also has four valves: tricuspid, pulmonary, mitral, and aortic.

More Information

The heart is a central component of the circulatory system, pumping oxygenated blood to the body and deoxygenated blood to the lungs. Its structure allows it to function efficiently with the coordinated opening and closing of valves and synchronised contraction of muscle fibers.

Tips

A common mistake is mixing up the names and positions of the heart's chambers and valves.
