2, the atria is the upper chamber of the heart. since there is alower and upper chamber in the heart, and the upper part is the atria, do the math: four chamber divided in half (two lower and two upper and 2+2=4) equals two which gives the the number of atria!

How many atria and ventricles do fish have?
it has one atric and one ventrical. it is a 2 chambered heart
How does a fish's heart work?
Yes a fish does have a heart but it alone has the atria as the pumping chambers.
How many atria do fish have?
One atria
What are the names of the two types of chambers in an amphibians heart?
Upper two chambers are called atria which are thin walled.Lower two chambers are called ventricles which are thick walled.
What kind of chambered hearts to amphibians have?
Crocodylians, such as alligators, crocodiles, caimans, etc, have four chambered hearts.Testudinidae (turtles), Squamata (amphisbaenians (lizard like), lizards, and snakes), Rhynchocephalia (tuataras); all have two chambered hearts.It varies.
What are the numbers and arrangement of heart chambers in fish amphibians and mammals?
Amphibians have a three chambered heart, two atria and a single ventricle. Fish only have a two chambered heart and mammals have a four chambered heart.
How many chambers are present in human heart?
The dog's circulatory system is quite similar to that of humans. The heart has four chambers. The two upper chambers are the left and right atria, while the stronger, lower chambers are the right and left ventricles.
How many ventricles do fish have?
mindless behavior is the best
How many heart chambers are in a fish and what do they do?
There are two chambers in a fish heart. The first chamber is called the atrium, which receives blood that has been deprived of oxygen. The blood then passes into the second chamber, the ventricle. The ventricle then pushes the blood to the gills of the fish, where gas exchange occurs. The blood then passes on to the capillaries, which carry the blood to the rest of the body. Once the blood has completed another cycle and is deprived of oxygen once again, it re-enters the atrium, and the process repeats itself.
Do birds have a four-chambered heart?
Like mammals, avians (birds, or members of the class Aves) have four-chambered hearts, consisting of two atria and two ventricles. By contrast, reptiles and amphibians have three-chambered hearts (two atria and one ventricle, sometimes with an incomplete septum in reptiles) and fish have two chambers (one atrium and one ventricle).
What other group of organisms would have 4 chambers other than the human heart?
ALL The Typical/Usual Endotherms, (birds and mammals) have 4 chambered hearts, the atypical/unusual few reptiles and fish that fall into the category DO NOT have 4 chambered hearts. Bird & Mammal hearts have 4-Chambers; Right and Left Atria & Right and Left Ventricles. Having Hair or Feathers indicates the animal is endothermic (at all times), because ONLY Birds and Mammals fall this category.
What organisms have 3 chambered hearts?
hearts have 2 types of chambers: atria and ventricles. Atria are where blood enters the heart and ventricles pump the blood out of the heart. Hearts take in oxygen poor blood, pump it through the pulmonary circuit (lungs/gills) where it gets oxygenated, and then they pump it out to the rest of the body. There are many many small veins (take blood to the heart) and arteries (carry it away) which connect the heart to the pulmonary circuit and keep it all running right. Blood pressure has to be carefully balanced in all tubes so that flow pressure is maintained and blood keeps moving, but not so fast as to explode certain areas or capillaries. One might say this careful and complex hydrostatic wiring might be easily selectable in an evolutionary scenario, but there's no getting around the fact that there's a very complicated and highly balanced network of biological fluid mechanics going on inside a heart than most artificial heart engineers probably care to think about.Given all this, there are 3 basic ways to make a heart found in animals: a 2 chambered heart, a 3 chambered heart, and a 4 chambered heart. Fish have 2 chambers, one atrium and one ventricle. Amphibians and reptiles have 3 chambers: 2 atria and a ventricle. Crocodiles are the one reptilian exception, as they have 4 chambers (2 atria, 2 ventricles). Birds and mammals have 4 chambers (2 atria and 2 ventricles).Differences between the hearts:The fish heart (figure 1a) is much different than the amphibian/reptile/bird/mammal heart (figures 1b and c). Hearts are very complex--they're not just a bunch of random arteries and veins connecting tissue. Fish hearts simply draw in deoxygenated blood in a single atrium, and pump it out through a ventricle. This system is termed "single circulation", as blood enters the heart, gets pumped through the gills and out to the body, Blood pressure is low for oxygenated blood leaving the gills.3 and 4 chambered hearts have a pulmonary circuit (pathways taking blood from heart to lung and back to heart) that is very complex and must be set up such that blood can travel from the heart to become oxygenated in the lungs and then be properly pumped back the heart and out to the body. The 3 (and 4) chambered heart has "double circulation" (figure 1b and c) and is quite different from "single circulation" (figure 1a) of fishes."Double circulation" has an interior circuit within the heart--blood enters the heart, leaves the heart and gets oxygenated, enters the heart again, and then gets pumped out to the body. Because "Double circulation" allows oxygenated blood to be pumped back into the heart before going out to the body, it pumps blood with much more pressure and much more vigorously than "single circulation".
