The heart is divided into four parts: the right atrium, left atrium, right ventricle, and left ventricle. Blood enters the heart through veins that lead to the atriums (the top chambers) and leaves through arteries that extend from the ventricles (the bottom chambers). The right ventricle pumps deoxygenated blood to the lungs through the pulmonary artery. From there, the blood becomes oxygenated and returns through the pulmonary vein into the left atrium. It is then pumped into the left ventricle, through the aorta (artery), and spread through the body. There, blood becomes deoxygenated again and returns to the right atrium through the superior and inferior vena cava (veins: superior carries blood from the top of the body and inferior carries blood from the large bottom half). Then it is pumped back into the right ventricle.
