The right side receives dirty blood from the body and sends it to the lungs, kidneys, and liver(the cleaners). The left side receives clean blood from the lungs and sends it to the body.
In between each atrium and its ventricle are one -way valves. One-way valves also open out of the ventricles to blood vessels.
Your heart has been beating since before you were born and will beat until the day you die. Blood flow of the Heart
