The atria are the two upper chambers of the heart (the ventricles are the lower two)


The atria are the 'filling' chambers, so blood entering the heart passes through the atria first, which then push it down into the ventricles.


The two largest veins in the body (the superior and inferior venae cavae) empty deoxygenated blood returning from the body into the right atrium. The right atrium then contracts, pushing the blood into the right ventricle. The right ventricle then pumps the deoxygenated blood to the lungs where it is oxygenated.


After leaving the lungs, the newly oxygenated blood is returned via the pulmonary veins into the left atrium. The left atrium then contracts and pushes the blood into the left ventricle, which pumps the oxygenated blood around the rest of the body.

In the human heart atriums are used to store blood briefly between

beats. This blood is then pumped into the heart's two ventricles, and from there it travels to the body and lungs.

The left atrium receives oxygenated blood from the lungs and pumps it to the left ventricle. The right atrium receives deoxygenated blood from the body and pumps it to the right ventricle.

What is the function of the atrium?

The thin-walled priming chamber pump of the heart. Each of the two atria lies above the ventricle, separated by a one-way atrioventricular valve. The function of the atrium is to force the last bit of blood into the main pumping chamber (ventricle) before the power stroke to increase the efficiency of pumping.

What is the function of a Right Atrium?

The function of the right atrium is to receive deoxygenated blood from the body (through the superior and inferior vena cavae, and the coronary sinus) and pump it into the right ventricle, which then pumps it to the lungs to be reoxygenated.
