heart chambers
Ventricles and atria
The heart chambers are the four hollow spaces inside the heart through which blood flows: the right and left atria (upper chambers) receive blood, while the right and left ventricles (lower chambers) pump it out.
The doctor explained how blood moves through the heart chambers.
The term appears most often in medical contexts discussing cardiac function or anatomy.
