State

A mammalian heart has four chambers — two atria receiving blood, two ventricles pumping it out — separated by valves enforcing one-directional flow.

Show

The mitral valve stops blood flowing backward from left ventricle into left atrium during contraction.

Watch for

A failing valve lets blood leak backward while chamber structure stays intact — distinct problems.
