the heart is separated into two sides so that it can carry out its function well. The right heart contains deoxygenated blood and the left heart with oxygenated blood. the two sides are separated from each other so that the blood from the two sides don't get mixed. this leads to effective oxygenation of the deoxygenated blood in the right heart through pulmonary circulation and effective oxygenation of the tissues in the different parts of the body by the oxygenated blood of the left heart through systemic circulation.
