SA node sends an impulse for the atria to contract. AV node is then activated which contracts the ventricles.

What Node that triggers an impulse that causes both atria?
The Sinoatrial Node sends a wave of electric impulses through the heart, which causes both atria to contract.
What node triggers an im pulse that causes both atria to?
the atriventriculart node causes both atria to contract
Where does the atria located?
The Heart's own pace makerThe heart beats regularly because it has it's own pacemaker. The pacemaker is a small region of muscle called the sinoatrial, or SA, node. It is in the upper back wall of the right atrium. The node triggers an impulse that causes both atrium to contract. Very quickly, the impulse reaches the atrioventricular, or AV, node at the bottom of the right atrium. Immediately, the atrioventricular node triggers an impulse that causes both ventricles to contract.

How does a circulatory system moves the blood like a circle through a body?
The heart's SA node sends an impulse to make both atria contract. This makes both atria squeeze the blood into the ventricles directly below them. Then, the heart's AV node receives the impulse and pumps the blood out of the ventricles.
Once a muscle action potential is initiated by the SA node where does the impulse spread?
It then spreads to both the right and left atria, then to the AV node, then down the bundle of His to the Purkinje fibers where it spreads to both the left and right ventricles.
What do the atria do at the same time?
Both atria open and close simultaneously.
Impulse refers to both force and?
Impulse refers to both force and time....... Impulse=(the change in Force)*(time) OR Impulse=the change in Momentum
Depolarization of the SA node occurs during which phase?
SA node: P waveUnder normal conditions, electrical activity is spontaneously generated by the SA node, the physiological pacemaker. This electrical impulse is propagated throughout the right atrium, and throughBachmann's bundle to the left atrium, stimulating the myocardium of both atria to contract. The conduction of the electrical impulse throughout the left and right atria is seen on the ECG as the P wave. As the electrical activity is spreading throughout the atria, it travels via specialized pathways, known as internodal tracts, from the SA node to the AV node.
What do both atria do at the same time?
They both contract at the same time.
What are function of SA nodes?
There is only one SA(sinoatrial) node. It is located by the right atrium of the heart. it initiates the nerve impulse which travels through both atria to initiate atrial contraction. Then the impulse travels to the AV(atrial ventricular) node. the nerve impulse travels through the intraventricular septum to the apex of the heart, where it initiates the contraction of the ventricles(starting from the apex and squeezing the blood up and out of the arteries).
What do both atria empty into?
I am not sure, but i think they empty into the chambers.
