Answer:

the human heart is a double pump with the right ventricle as pump one and the left ventricle as pump two. the heart a double pump functions as a double ventricle. the Blood moves from the body into the right atrium, and then into the right ventricle where it gets pumped into the lungs. Blood gets oxygenated in the lungs, moves into the left atrium, and into the left ventricle and the process begins all over again.

normally, the human body requires two pumps functioning at different pressures, high pressure to permits the blood to circulate around the body, and low pressure to give room/permits for optimal gas exchange in the lungs without broken capillaries.
