How many heart chambers do mammals have?
Question

How many heart chambers do mammals have?

A.

four

B.

three

C.

single

D.

two

Correct option is A

The correct answer is: A) Four
Explanation:
Mammals have a four-chambered heart, consisting of two atria and two ventricles. This structure ensures complete separation of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood,
allowing an efficient double circulation system that supports their warm-blooded nature and high metabolic rate.
Information Booster:
  • The right atrium and right ventricle pump deoxygenated blood to the lungs.
  • The left atrium and left ventricle receive oxygenated blood and pump it to the body.
  • Other warm-blooded animals like birds also have a four-chambered heart.
Additional Information:
  •  Three – Found in amphibians (e.g., frogs) and most reptiles, where oxygenated and deoxygenated blood mix.
  •  Two – Present in fish, where the heart pumps blood in a single circuit (gills → body → heart).
