The flap-like wall of each atrium is called an auricle (or atrial appendage). These structures help increase the capacity of the atria and play a role in the heart's overall function by allowing for more blood to be accommodated. Each auricle is shaped like a small ear and is situated at the top of the respective atrium.
A flap-like lateral wall of each atrium is called the auricle. Its purpose is to increase the atrial volume, thereby increasing the efficiency of blood flow into the ventricles.
The ridges in the anterior wall of the right atrium are called pectinate muscles or pectinate ridges. These muscular ridges are important for increasing the surface area of the atrium to allow for more efficient contraction and blood flow.

The heart is divided into four chambers, with a wall in between each one.
the cardiac wall is the prevent to rigth atrium
One separating the atrium and ventricle is called atrial septum and ventricular septum respectively.
The interatrial septum separates the left and right atria.
strong then the right atrium but not as strong as the left ventricle because the left atrium deals with a higher pressure in comparison to the right atrium. The walls of the posterior left atrium are smooth, this part receives the 4 pulmonary veins The wall of the anterior left atrium contain musculi pectinati, small ridges in the wall Unlike in the right atrium there is no definitive division between the two
Bundle of His .
The natural pacemaker of the heart is called the sinus node. This is made up of a cluster of cells that are in the upper right part of the wall of the right atrium.
The wall of muscle separating the right and left atria is the interatrial septum. The interventricular septum separates the right and left ventricles.
