What is difference between auricle and ventricle?

uricles are part of the atria and serve to increase the volume of the atria. The atria that they are a part of serve to direct blood into the ventricles and are not very muscular. The ventricles are far more muscular than the atria and serve to pump blood to either the lungs or the rest of the body ( the right and left ventricles respectively).

Which human heart chamber has to contract more forcefully?

The heart is a complex structure. It receives deoxygenated blood from the superior and inferior vena cavas who transfer it to the right auricle. The right auricle due to excessive receival of impure blood, swells up and transfers it to the right ventricle. Although the left auricle and ventricle too perform contraction, the receival by the right side is enormous. It thus, contracts more forcefully compared to the left side.


What is the function of atria?

Atria (plural: atrium) is an auricle. An auricle is one of the two spaces inside the top of your heart that push blood into the ventricles.Actually, atria is plural and atrium is singular.That is not the correct answer. I am doing my packet for science right now and that is not one of the answers! Nothing can push blood unless if it is man-made!The atria is the part of your body that helps blood pass through things into the ventricles. I have a science book with me and am trying to update things that need updated.wow. listen the answer is they receive blood that comes into the heart, i just took a test on it.
