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

Detailed explanation-3: -There are four chambers: the left atrium and right atrium (upper chambers), and the left ventricle and right ventricle (lower chambers). The right side of your heart collects blood on its return from the rest of your body. The blood entering the right side of your heart is low in oxygen.

Detailed explanation-4: -The upper two chambers are called the atria and the lower chambers are called the ventricles.

Detailed explanation-5: -The two upper thin walled chambers of the heart are called auricle or atria (singular: atrium) and two lower thick walled chambers are called ventricles. The chambers are separated by partition called septum. The septum between auricles and ventricles prevents the mixing of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood.
