How many chambers does the heart have?
A
4
B
6
C
3
D
1
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.

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: -Your heart chambers are four hollow spaces within your heart. There are two atria (upper chambers) called your right atrium and left atrium. In addition, there are two ventricles (lower chambers) called your right ventricle and left ventricle. Each chamber plays an important role in your heart’s functioning.

Detailed explanation-4: -The human heart consists of four chambers – two atria and two ventricles – that expand and contract in order to drive blood containing oxygen and nutrients throughout the body.

Detailed explanation-5: -The four-chambered heart has a distinct advantage over simpler structures: It allows us to send our “dirty” blood to the cleaners-the lungs-and our “clean” blood to the rest of the body without having to mix the two. That system is very efficient.
