They are the 2 chambers on the top, the atria. The right atrium takes venous blood from the body, and the left atrium collects blood coming from the lungs where it has been oxygenated. The serious pumping happens in the ventricles, the 2 chambers below the atria. The right ventricle pumps the blood to the lungs, and the left ventricle pumps the blood out into the body, both pumping at the same time. This is the basic blood pathway: The blood can be traced from the body tissues to the capillaries, venules, and veins. At the the biggest vein the Vena Cavae, it then goes into the heart's -- Right Atrium-- Right Ventricle-- Then the Lungs to pick up oxygen -- Left Atrium-- Left Ventricle-- Into the Aorta, the largest artery, and then throughout the body by way of the rest of the arteries, arterioles, capillaries, and then, finally, back into the body tissues again, but now carrying oxygen.

The discharging chambers are the ventricles. Blood is pumped from the heart into the arteries. (The blood leaves through the ventricles, hence "discharging" chambers)
