Coronary arteries — supply?
Supply oxygen-rich blood to the heart muscle.
Heart chambers — roles?
Atria receive blood; ventricles pump blood.
Valves — function?
Prevent backflow; ensure unidirectional blood flow.
Atria — function?
Receive blood into the heart.
Ventricles — function?
Pump blood out of the heart.
Septum — role?

Oxygen and nutrients to the heart muscle.
Blood flow sequence?
Right atrium, right ventricle, lungs, left atrium, left ventricle, body.
Left ventricle — role?
Pumps oxygenated blood to the body.
