1. Heart Chambers

Key Concepts & Definitions

  • Right Atrium: The upper right chamber of the heart that receives deoxygenated blood from the body via the superior and inferior vena cavae.
  • Right Ventricle: The lower right chamber that pumps deoxygenated blood into the pulmonary arteries toward the lungs for oxygenation.
  • Left Atrium: The upper left chamber that receives oxygenated blood from the lungs through the pulmonary veins.
  • Left Ventricle: The lower left chamber responsible for pumping oxygen-rich blood into the aorta and throughout the body; it has the thickest muscular wall.
  • Interventricular Septum: The muscular wall separating the right and left ventricles, preventing mixing of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood.
  • Atria: The two upper chambers of the heart that act as receiving chambers for blood returning to the heart.
  • Ventricles: The two lower chambers that function as the main pumping chambers, ejecting blood out of the heart.
