From these vessels, the blood is distributed to the remainder of the body. Although the connotation of the term “pump” suggests a mechanical device made of steel and plastic, the anatomical structure is a living, sophisticated muscle.

The heart functions as a double pump for the two circuits of blood flow in the human body. The right side of the heart is the pump for the pulmonary circuit of blood flow and the left side of the heart is the pump for the systemic circuit of blood flow.
