    Study Notes

    Chambers of the Heart

    • The heart consists of four hollow chambers: two atria and two ventricles.
    • Atria are the superior receiving chambers, playing a lighter role in the heart's pumping activity.
    • Ventricles are the inferior, thick-walled discharging chambers that contract to propel blood out of the heart and into circulation.
    • The septum divides the heart longitudinally, referred to as either the interventricular septum (separating ventricles) or interatrial septum (separating atria).
