How the Heart Works

A healthy heart beats around 100,000 times a day. The heart's job is to supply the body with oxygen-rich blood. The heart has four chambers. Blood is pumped through the four chambers with the help of four heart valves.

(Right Atrium) Tricuspid Valve Right Lower Chamber (Right Ventricle)

Left Upper Chamber (Left Atrium) Aortic Valve Mitral Valve Left Lower Chamber (Left Ventricle)
