The Auricle increases the volume of the atrium.


Right auricle collects the deoxygenated blood and pushes it to the right ventricle. Left auricle collects the oxygenated blood from lungs and pushes it towards left ventricle.

Where does blood travel after the right auricle?

It travels to the right ventricle passing through the tricuspid valve. Then it travels to the lungs via pulmonary arteries. The oxygenated blood from the lungs returns to the heart (into the left auricle). From the left auricle the blood travels to the left ventricle. The left ventricle pumps it to aorta. The blood travels through the arteries and veins, then it returns to the right auricle of heart.
