The Human Heart

This human heart video provides information on how it works, coronary circulation and the hearts anatomy. Your heart is actually a double pump. The right side of the heart receives blood that is low in oxygen from all the veins in the body, and then it pumps that blood through the pulmonary artery to the lungs, where it will become re-oxygenated. The left side of the heart receives this oxygen-rich blood from the lungs, which it then pumps through the aorta to the body.
