what are the “receiving chambers” of the heart?
A
atria
B
veins
C
ventricle
D
arteries
Explanation: 

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. The heart valves, which keep blood flowing in the right direction, are gates at the chamber openings.

Detailed explanation-2: -The right atrium receives blood from the superior and inferior vena-cava. And the left atrium receives blood from the lungs through pulmonary veins. So, these two are called the receiving chambers of the heart.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -The heart has four chambers: two upper chambers call the right and left atrium and two lower chambers called the right and left ventricle. There is a wall between the two atria called the atrial septum. There is another wall between the two ventricles, and it is called the ventricular septum.

Detailed explanation-5: -The answer is B), the atria are the receiving chambers of the heart, while the ventricles are the discharging chambers of the heart. There are two atria and two ventricles that are divided into left and right.
