ANS: / f D
The front (anterior) surface of the heart lies behind the

cartilages. It is formed by portions of the right atrium
/ f / f / f /f / f / f / f / f / f / f / f and the left and right

ventricles. However, because the heart is tilted slightly
/ f / f / f / f / f / f / f / f /f toward the left in the/ f / f / f / f

ANS: / f C
The heart has four chambers: two atria and two ventricles. The right and left
/ f / f / f / f / f / f / f / f / f /f / f / f / f
sides of the heart are separated by an internal wall of connective tissue called
/ f /f / f /f / f / f / f / f / f / f / f / f / f / f
a septum. The interatrial septum separates the right and left atria. The
/ f / f / f /f / f / f / f / f / f / f / f / f
interventricular septum separates the right and left ventricles. The septa separate
/ f / f / f /f / f / f / f / f / f / f / f
the heart into two functional pumps. The right atrium and right ventricle make
/ f / f / f / f / f / f / f /f / f / f / f / f / f
