the heart has a double circulatory system

right pumps deoxygenated blood to the heart

left pups oxygenated blood to other organs

the heart has valves to make sure that blood flows in the right direction.

1. blood flows into the atria from the vena cava and the pulmonary vein.

2. the atria contract, forcing blood into the pulmonary artery and the aorta and out of the heart

3. the blood flows to the organs through arteries and returns through veins

4. cycle start again

the heart has a pacemaker

your resting heartbeat is controlled by a pacemaker

stent

stents are tubes put inside arteries. they keep them open letting blood pass through to the heart- keeping it pumping.

stents are a way of lowering the risk of a heart attack if you have coronary heart disease
