They are both parts of the heart, and they come in pairs inside the heart.

They both contain valves that prevent the back flow of blood.

A difference is that the atria has thin walls and the ventricle has thick walls.

The atria are receiving chambers and the ventricles are discharging chambers - they pump the blood.

The septum in-between the atria has the foramen ovale, a closed opening that used to be present in a fetal heart.
