Atrium (heart)
In
anatomy, the atrium (plural: atria) refers to a chamber or space. As such it may for example be the atrium of the lateral ventricle in the brain or, popularly, the
blood collection chamber of a
heart. It has a thin-walled structure that allows blood to return to the heart. There is at least one atrium in an animal with a closed circulatory system. In
fish, the circulatory system is very simple: a two-chambered heart including one atrium and one
ventricle. In other
vertebrate groups, the
circulatory system is much more complicated. Their circulatory systems are divided into two types: a three-chambered heart, with two atria and one ventricle, or a four-chambered heart, with two atria and two ventricles. The atrium receives blood as it returns to the heart to complete a circulating cycle, whereas the ventricle pumps blood out of the heart to start a new cycle.

Atrio (anatomia)
In
anatomia, gli atri sono le due cavità superiori del
cuore; sono separati da un tramezzo detto setto interatriale.Gli atri sono posti al di sopra dei due
ventricoli; ciascun atrio comunica col ventricolo corrispondente per mezzo dell'ostio atrio-ventricolare. I due atri non sono
simmetrici per conformazione interna e relazioni con gli altri organi.
