The ventricles. These are the two lower chambers, one on each side. The ride ventricle pushes blood to the lungs, for oxygenation and the left ventricle pumps the oxygenated blood through the body.

What does the atrium do when the ventricle contracts?

When one of the heart ventricles (the lower chambers) contracts, it pushes blood out of the heart. A valve prevents this blood from going backward into the atrium, which has completed its contraction and is now relaxed and being filled with blood from the veins.

What is collecting the chambers of the heart?

The heart has 4 chambers. The "collecting chamber of the heart", or the atria , is the two chambers that are located above the other two chambers. It carries the responsibility in helping to pump the blood out of the chambers and making sure no blood pumps back in.


How does your heart work to pump blood throughout your body?

The heart pumps blood throughout the body by contracting and relaxing in a rhythmic pattern. When the heart contracts (squeezes), it pushes blood out of the chambers and into the arteries. This blood is then carried to all parts of the body, delivering oxygen and nutrients. When the heart relaxes, it allows blood to flow back into the chambers so it can be pumped out again. This continuous cycle ensures that all cells in the body receive the necessary blood supply for proper functioning.

What are the 2 chambers of the heart?

The heart is divided by a partition or septum into two halves. The halves are in turn divided into chambers. The upper two chambers of the heart are called atria and the lower two chambers are called ventricles. The atria receive blood returning to the heart from the body and the ventricles pump blood from the heart to the body. Valves allow blood to flow in one direction between the chambers of the heart.
