Why are atria so thin-walled?

The atria does not need to be very thick because all it needs to do is fill up with blood so that the ventricles can pump out the blood. The ventricular walls are thick so that they can properly pump out blood to the needed areas.

Why is the atria so thin walled?

Atria don't do nearly the same amount of work of contraction as do the ventricles. They are therefore relatively thin walled. Most of the blood that flows from the atria to the ventricles flows passively, and so the atria function mostly as a reservoir for blood volume.

How does atria and ventricle work together?

the atria and ventricle work together as a team - the atria fill with blood, then dump it into the ventricle. The ventricle then squeeze, pumping blood out the heart, while the ventricle are squeezing, the atria refill and gets ready for the next contraction. so when the blood gets pumped ,how does it know which way to go?
