Detailed explanation-1: -A typical heart has two upper and two lower chambers. The upper chambers, the right and left atria, receive incoming blood. The lower chambers, the more muscular right and left ventricles, pump blood out of the heart.
Detailed explanation-2: -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.
Detailed explanation-3: -Your heart has 4 chambers. The upper chambers are called the left and right atria and the lower chambers are called the left and right ventricles. A wall of muscle called the septum separates the left and right atria and the left and right ventricles.
Detailed explanation-4: -The upper chambers are the called atria and act as the receiving chambers. The lower chambers are called ventricles; these are the pumping chambers. There are four valves within the heart, which help control the direction of blood flow.
Detailed explanation-5: -Your lower chambers are called your right ventricle and left ventricle.
