	<li>The ultrasound scan on the left shows a magnified view of the four chambers of the baby&#39;s heart.</li>
	<li>In the scan on the right, you can notice the blood flowing from the upper chambers of the baby&#39;s heart (the atria) into the lower chambers (the ventricles).</li>
	<li>The walls of the ventricles are more muscular than the atria because they have to pump blood to the baby&#39;s lungs and the rest of the body.</li>
