What are the four chambers of the heart?

  • A. Right atrium, left atrium, right ventricle, left ventricle
  • B. Right atrium, left atrium, right ventricle, left atrium
  • C. Left atrium, right ventricle, left ventricle, right atrium
  • D. Left atrium, right atrium, left ventricle, right ventricle
Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Right atrium, left atrium, right ventricle, left ventricle. The heart consists of four chambers: the right atrium, left atrium, right ventricle, and left ventricle. Blood flows from the body into the right atrium, then to the right ventricle, where it is pumped to the lungs for oxygenation. Oxygenated blood returns to the left atrium, passes to the left ventricle, and is then pumped out to the body. Choice B is incorrect because it incorrectly lists the left atrium twice. Choice C is incorrect as it rearranges the order of the chambers. Choice D is incorrect as it mistakenly switches the atria and ventricles in their positions.
