Introduction:

The human heart is a muscular organ, almost the size of your fist, and is responsible to pump blood throughout the body. The heart is tilted slightly left due to the bigger size of the right lung as compared to the left one. It has four chambers that are, Right atrium, right ventricle, left atrium, and left ventricle. The right atrium and right ventricle receive deoxygenated blood from different body tissues and send it to the lungs whereas the left atrium and left ventricle get oxygenated blood from the lungs and pump it to the different body tissues and organs.
