ventricles

Detailed explanation-1: -There are two atria (upper chambers) called your right atrium and left atrium. In addition, there are two ventricles (lower chambers) called your right ventricle and left ventricle. Each chamber plays an important role in your heart’s functioning.
Detailed explanation-2: -The left ventricle is the largest and strongest chamber in your heart. The left ventricle’s chamber walls are only about 1.0 to 1.3cm, but they have enough force to push blood through the aortic valve and into your body.
Detailed explanation-3: -Left Ventricle. The left ventricle is the main powerhouse of the heart, having to pump blood all the way around the systemic circulation. Because of this it has the largest, most muscular walls of any of the chambers. In fact, it is three times as thick as the right ventricle.
Detailed explanation-4: -The upper chambers-the right and left atria-receive incoming blood. The lower chambers-the right and left ventricles-pump blood out of your heart.
Detailed explanation-5: -The heart has four chambers: two atria and two ventricles. The right atrium receives oxygen-poor blood from the body and pumps it to the right ventricle. The right ventricle pumps the oxygen-poor blood to the lungs. The left atrium receives oxygen-rich blood from the lungs and pumps it to the left ventricle.
