Heart Chambers and Valves
This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.
State
A mammalian heart has four chambers — two atria receiving blood, two ventricles pumping it out — separated by valves enforcing one-directional flow.
Show
The mitral valve stops blood flowing backward from left ventricle into left atrium during contraction.
Watch for
A failing valve lets blood leak backward while chamber structure stays intact — distinct problems.
