négyüreg

négyüreg is a Hungarian term that translates to "four chambers" in English. It most commonly refers to the four chambers of the heart. The human heart has four distinct chambers: the right atrium, the right ventricle, the left atrium, and the left ventricle. These chambers work together to pump blood throughout the body. Deoxygenated blood enters the right atrium, then flows to the right ventricle, which pumps it to the lungs to get oxygenated. Oxygenated blood then returns to the left atrium, moves to the left ventricle, and is finally pumped to the rest of the body. This cyclical process is essential for sustaining life.

While the primary association of négyüreg is with cardiac anatomy, the term could theoretically be applied in other contexts where a structure or system is divided into four distinct cavities or sections. However, in general conversation and biological or medical discussions in Hungary, it almost exclusively denotes the four chambers of the heart. The efficient and coordinated function of these four chambers is a cornerstone of cardiovascular health. Any disruption to their normal operation can lead to significant health problems.
