Structure of heart

Cards (6)

  • Muscular walls to provide a strong heartbeat
  • The left ventricle wall is thicker than the right ventricle wall because it has to pump blood all around the body
  • It has 4 chambers that seperate the oxygenated blood from the deoxygenated blood
  • Valves prevent backflow of blood when the heart contracts.
  • Coronary arteries cover the heart to provide its own oxygenated blood supply
