B) Atria are the thin-walled, low-pressure chambers that receive blood returning to the heart. C) Ventricles are indeed high-pressure chambers because they are responsible for pumping blood out of the heart, requiring more force. D) The left ventricle has the thickest wall because it needs to pump blood to the entire body, overcoming the high resistance of the systemic circulation. E) The heart is divided into left and right sides, each with an atrium and a ventricle, facilitating the separation and proper direction of blood flow.
