Atrium (Atria)
  • These are the thin-walled upper chambers of the heart;
  • Separated by inter-atrial septum;
  • Blood returns from the body to the right atrium;
  • Blood returns from the lungs to the left atrium;
  • The atria provide approximately 20% of the “kick” in assisting ventricular filling. [25, 27]
