The correct Answer is:
To determine which statement is correct about the human heart, we need to analyze the options provided regarding the structure and volume of the heart chambers. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Heart Structure**: - The human heart consists of four chambers: two atria (upper chambers) and two ventricles (lower chambers). 2. **Evaluating Option A**: - Option A states that the volume of both the atria is greater than the volume of both the ventricles. - This is incorrect because the ventricles are larger than the atria. 3. **Evaluating Option B**: - Option B claims that the volume of both the ventricles is greater than the volume of both the atria. - This is correct as the ventricles are indeed larger and have a greater volume compared to the atria. 4. **Evaluating Option C**: - Option C states that the volume of both the atria is equal to the volume of both the ventricles. - This is incorrect since the atria are smaller in size compared to the ventricles. 5. **Evaluating Option D**: - Option D claims that the ventricles are the upper chambers and the atria are the lower chambers. - This is also incorrect; the atria are the upper chambers, while the ventricles are the lower chambers. 6. **Conclusion**: - After evaluating all options, the only correct statement is Option B: "The volume of both the ventricles is greater than the volume of both the atria." ### Final Answer: **Option B**: The volume of both the ventricles is greater than the volume of both the atria.
