THe heart is made up of two pumps; one that contains oxygenated blood, and one that contains deoxygenated blood...they are divided by this thick wall called a septum...each half is made up of a ventricle and an atrium...that question was on my science quiz today!!!

The heart has four chambers that move blood, 2 atria and 2 ventricles. The ventricles are larger and more muscular and are responsible for the squeeze that moves blood in your body. The double pump refers to the fact that there are 2 ventricles doing different jobs. The right ventricle pumps blood to the lungs via the pulmonary artery whereas the left ventricle pumps blood to the rest of the body via the aorta.

The heart functions as a double ventricle. Blood moves from the body into the right atrium, and then into the right ventricle where it gets pumped into the lungs. Blood gets oxygenated in the lungs, moves into the left atrium, and into the left ventricle where it gets pumped into the body again.

The heart is referred to as a double pump because it serves two circuits of circulation: the systemic circuit and the pulmonary circuit

because it pumps in 2 directions. it draws blood into the heart on one side (then into the lungs and back in) then pumps the blood out into the body on the other side

Because the blood goes in, the blood goes out--like a pump, it has to do both.

dbl pump refers to the two sides...right and left....
the right side (atrium and ventricle) pumps out the deoxygenated blood into the lungs
the left side (atrium and ventricle) pumps out the oxygenated blood to the aorta and the rest of the body

because if i remember correctly the heart has two halves, one goes to the lungs, and the other goes to the rest of the body, thus double pump.
