The heart is divided into four chambers, the left atrium, the left ventricle, the right atrium, and the right ventricle. The two chambers in the upper portions of the heart are the atrium, and the two at the lower portions are the ventricles.
The two upper chambers in your heart are called the atria. One on its own is an atrium. This comes from the Latin word for an open entrance area in a house, because the atria are where the blood enters the heart after returning from either the body or the lungs.The right atrium receives blood from the body, and pumps it through the tricuspid valve into the right ventricle. The left atrium receives blood from the lungs via the pulmonary veins, and pumps it through the bicuspid valve into the left atrium.The atria have thinner walls than the ventricles, since they have to pump the blood a shorter distance than the ventricles.
No you don't have a heart inside your heart. The heart is made up of four chambers though. This is a short explanation about the heart. The heart is a very important muscle that you can't live without it. It pumps blood through your body. The heart is made up of 4 different parts that are called the chambers. The chambers are called Left atrium, Right atrium, Left ventricle and Right ventricle. The left atrium receives blood from the pulmonary-vein, and pumps it into the left-ventricle. The right atrium receives de-oxygenated blood from the superior and the inferior venae cavae and the coronary-sinus. The left ventricle receives oxygenated blood from the left-atrium via the mitral-valve, and pumps it into the aorta.
The right ventricle pumps blood to the lungs where the alveoli oxygenate the blood. Then the blood comes back through the pulmonary veins, and into the left atrium, through the valve to the ventricle, to the pulmonary artery, and to the different parts of the body.
The left ventricle, it works the hardest and needs the most muscle mass.
