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.


The SA node triggers an impulse that causes both atria to do what?

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


What produces the pulse rate?

Both atria and ventricles contracts rythmically to propagate blood forward. Contraction of the left ventrical forces the boold in systemic circulation. The wave of arterial dilatation moves forward across the arterial system to produce pulse.


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.


What do both atria do at the same time?

They both contract at the same time.


What do both atria empty into?

I am not sure, but i think they empty into the chambers.


What is the P wave of electrocardiogram closely followed by?

Contraction of both atria


What do the atria do at the same time?

The atria contract simultaneously to push blood into the ventricles. This coordinated contraction ensures efficient filling of the ventricles with blood before they contract to pump blood out to the rest of the body.

Which part of the heart recives blood?

both the right and left atria receive blood.


What is a pulse deficit?

A pulse deficit is the difference in the heart rate and pulse rate when both are checked simultaneously. Pulse deficits are quite often a sign of decreased cardiac output.


What is the pulse on your chest called?

It's called the apical pulse. For future reference: Radial pulse - at your wrist next to your thumb on both arms. Carotid pulse - at your neck. Apical pulse - at your chest. Brachial pulse - anticubital (opposite of the elbow side).
