Blood comes back to the heart via the veins. The small veins join together to form larger veins, which in turn join to form the two largest veins, the Superior (higher) Vena Cava and the Inferior (lower) Vena Cava. The blood returns to the heart via these huge veins. This blood is poor in oxygen. The right atrium accepts this blood and sends it to the right ventricle, which sends it to the lungs for oxygenation (saturation of blood with oxygen).
Passage through the lungs enriches the oxygen levels in blood.
This oxygenated blood comes to the left atrium, goes to the left ventricle via the mitral valve, and is pushed into the large aorta by the powerful contractions of the left ventricle.
The walls between the two atria and the two ventricles separate the oxygen-rich blood from the oxygen-poor blood.
Any defects or holes in the walls lead to mixing of blood and causes illness. Such defects are usually present from birth and need correction by surgery or nonsurgical interventional treatment.
