What are the discharging chambers of the heart called?
The receiving chambers are the right and left atria and the discharging chambers are the right and left ventricles separated by a septum.
What structure is a discharging chamber?
The inferior thick-walled ventricles, which form the bulk of the heart, are the discharging chambers that force blood out of the heart and into the large arteries that emerge from its base. The right ventricle pumps blood into the pulmonary trunk, which routes the blood to the lungs to be oxygenated.
How many heart chambers are discharged?
The heart has four chambers: two atria and two ventricles. The right atrium receives oxygen-poor blood from the body and pumps it to the right ventricle. The right ventricle pumps the oxygen-poor blood to the lungs.
What are these chambers called?
The upper chambers are the called atria and act as the receiving chambers. The lower chambers are called ventricles; these are the pumping chambers.
What is the inferior discharging chamber on the left side of the heart?

| Roof of this chamber contains the bicuspid valve | Left atrium |
Why is the human heart four chambered?
The main advantages of having a four-chambered heart are: It allows a highly efficient supply of oxygenated blood to all parts of the body. It ensures complete segregation of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood within the heart.
Which discharging chamber pushes the blood to the aorta?
Left ventricle: Receives oxygen-rich blood from the left atrium and pumps blood into the aorta.
