Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

The terms auricle and atrium were used interchangeably to refer to the upper heart chamber in old literatures, thus leading to confusion. To put it simply, atrium is the upper chamber of heart and auricle (also called atrial appendage) is the ear like conical muscular pouch that arise from each atrium.
