The circulatory system has a series of one-way valves built in which prevents blood flowing backwards.
the mitral and tricuspid valves
To prevent the back flow of blood into the left and right atrium when the ventricles contract

If blood goes back from the atrium to the lungs, it can cause breathing problems. It also strains the muscles of the atrium and the ventricles.
The heart valves shut. There are two valves the mitral and the tricuspid. The mitral valve opens allowing blood into the ventricles (from the atrium) then the tricuspid valve opens allowing the blood to be pushed out into the left ventricle and out of to the body. It shuts allowing blood to fill the atrium again.

The atrium of the heart works relatively fast compared to the ventricles. It serves to collect blood and pump it into the ventricles for further propulsion throughout the body.
You have four chambers in your heart. You have two atria and two ventricles. Right atrium push the blood to right ventricle. Right ventricle pumps the blood to your lungs. From lungs the blood goes to your left atrium. Left atrium push the blood to your left ventricle. Left ventricles pumps the blood to your body. The blood then come back to your right atrium and the circulation continues.
An atrium. There is a left atrium and a right, just like the ventricles.
During atrial systole, the atria contract and push blood into the ventricles. Specifically, blood flows from the right atrium into the right ventricle through the tricuspid valve, and from the left atrium into the left ventricle through the mitral valve. This contraction helps to fill the ventricles with blood in preparation for ventricular systole.
Yes it does collect blood because the blood is meant 4 people who needs it.
Arteries carry blood away from the heart.
