Detailed explanation-1: -The heart is made up of four chambers. 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-2: -The heart consists of four chambers in which blood flows. Blood enters the right atrium and passes through the right ventricle. The right ventricle pumps the blood to the lungs where it becomes oxygenated. The oxygenated blood is brought back to the heart by the pulmonary veins which enter the left atrium.
