What else can I help you with?
When atria relax ventricles do what?
When relaxed, the atria expand, and then the ventricles contract.
Do atria contract before the ventricles?
Yes, atria contracts before the ventricles.
Why is the heart called a dual action pump?
Its a Dual Pump because it contains 2 pumps, the atria and the ventricles. Atria work as a weak primer pump that pump to the ventricles and ventricles are the major pump that distributes it.
What difference atria and ventricles fetal pig?
the difference between the ventricles and the atria is that the ventricles are thicker
Why is the atria so thin walled?
Atria don't do nearly the same amount of work of contraction as do the ventricles. They are therefore relatively thin walled. Most of the blood that flows from the atria to the ventricles flows passively, and so the atria function mostly as a reservoir for blood volume.
Why the atria walls so thin?
Atria don't do nearly the same amount of work of contraction as do the ventricles. They are therefore relatively thin walled. Most of the blood that flows from the atria to the ventricles flows passively, and so the atria function mostly as a reservoir for blood volume.
Function of atria?
ventricles
What part of the blood is atria and ventricles?
The Atria and Ventricles are parts of the heart not the blood. The Atria is the upper chambers of the heart and the Ventricles are the lower chambers of the heart.
What makes the valves between atriums open and close?
There are no valves between the atria. The valves between the atria and ventricles close when the ventricles contract.
Why have the ventricles got thicker walls then the atria?
atria are just the receiving chambers, it is the ventricles that actually pump the blood into the pulmonary and systemic circuits
What part of your body has two atria and two ventricles?
I believe this would be your heart because that is the only time ventricles and atria are brought up.
What does the atrioventricular valve do?
The atrioventricular valves are two heart valves that allow for the transportation of blood from the atria to the ventricles of the heart. Its function is to prevent the return of blood to the atrium.
