Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The bottom chambers of the heart are called
A
ventricles
B
atria
C
vena cava
D
valves
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The lower chambers-the right and left ventricles-pump blood out of your heart. The heart valves, which keep blood flowing in the right direction, are gates at the chamber openings (for the tricuspid and mitral valves) and exits (for the pulmonary and aortic valves).

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: -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.
