Of the heart's four chambers, two are atria and two are ventricles—the right side of the heart has one atrium and one ventricle, and vice versa. In a healthy human heart, these chambers operate ...

Myxomas are mainly located in the atria (75% in the left and 15–20% in the right) and are attached to the atrial septum ... through the valve into the ventricular cavity, producing a distinctive ...

The right atrium collects deoxygenated blood from the body and directs it to the right ventricle, where it is then pumped to the lungs to get oxygen. The oxygenated blood comes from the lungs and ...
