ANATOMY

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 right and left ventricles-pump blood out of your heart.

Detailed explanation-2: -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. The heart valves, which keep blood flowing in the right direction, are gates at the chamber openings.

Detailed explanation-3: -In humans the atria are the two upper chambers of the heart. Each is roughly cube-shaped except for an ear-shaped projection called an auricle. (The term auricle has also been applied, incorrectly, to the entire atrium.)

Detailed explanation-4: -Your upper chambers are called your right atrium and left atrium. Your lower chambers are called your right ventricle and left ventricle. Your chambers work together to manage your heartbeat. They also send blood into your lungs to gain oxygen before recirculating throughout your body.

Detailed explanation-5: -The upper chambers of the heart are called atria which always receive blood. The lower two chambers are called ventricles which pump the blood out of the heart to various parts of the body.
