Upper two chambers are called atria which are thin walled.

Lower two chambers are called ventricles which are thick walled.

What are three types of amphibians?

Frogs, toads, newts and salamanders are amphibians.Amphibians are cold-blooded.Amphibians spend part of their lives under water and part of their lives on land.They lay jelly-covered eggs in the water.Amphibians breathe with gills or lungs or through their skin.Baby amphibians live in water and breathe with gills.An amphibian's skin is moist. (They do NOT have scales.)Amphibians are vertebrates -- they have backbones.Most amphibians live in or near water or in damp places.

How many chambers a frog heart has?

As we come to the vertebrates, we begin to find real efficiencies with the closed system. Fish possess one of the simplest types of true heart. A fish's heart is a two-chambered organ composed of one atrium and one ventricle. The heart has muscular walls and a valve between its chambers. Blood is pumped from the heart to the gills, where it receives oxygen and gets rid of carbon dioxide. Blood then moves on to the organs of the body, where nutrients, gases, and wastes are exchanged. However, there is no division of the circulation between the respiratory organs and the rest of the body. That is, the blood travels in a circuit which takes blood from heart to gills to organs and back to the heart to start its circuitous journey again. Frogs have a three-chambered heart, consisting of two atria and a single ventricle. Blood leaving the ventricle passes into a forked aorta, where the blood has an equal opportunity to travel through a circuit of vessels leading to the lungs or a circuit leading to the other organs. Blood returning to the heart from the lungs passes into one atrium, while blood returning from the rest of the body passes into the other. Both atria empty into the single ventricle. While this makes sure that some blood always passes to the lungs and then back to the heart, the mixing of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood in the single ventricle means the organs are not getting blood saturated with oxygen. Still, for a cold-blooded creature like the frog, the system works well. Humans and all other mammals, as well as birds, have a four-chambered heart with two atria and two ventricles. Deoxygenated and oxygenated blood are not mixed. The four chambers ensure efficient and rapid movement of highly oxygenated blood to the organs of the body. This has helped in thermal regulation and in rapid, sustained muscle movements.

How many chambers does the heart have?

The heart has four chambers. There are two types of chambers, the atria and the ventricles. There are a pair of each on the right and left side. Human (mammal) hearts have 4, reptiles tend to 3, and some organisms go all the way down to one.
