    editor's notes: In a medical context, atrium, the singular form of this word is used more commonly than the plural form. Many Latin words that end in "um" are made plural by changing the "um" to "a"--such as atrium to atria, bacterium to bacteria, and millennium to millennia. In modern writing, changing the "um" to "ums" is also accepted for many Latin words ending in um, but not for any of those listed above.
