How are atria and ventricle differ?
The atria are on the top, and ventricles on the bottom. The atria are smaller, and the ventricles bigger. The atria receive blood coming into the heart, and the ventricles send blood out of the heart. The contraction of the atria end diastole, and the contraction of the ventricles end systole.
The stage of the heart cycle in which the heart muscle contacts and the chambers pump blood?
The sinoatrial node depolarizes the atria and causes them to contract which tops up the ventricles with blood, the signal then moves through the atrioventricular node and then the atrioventricular bundle and into the purkinje fibres which causes the ventricles to depolarize and contract sending blood from the right ventricle to the lungs and from the left ventricle. The Atria repolarizes at the same time as the ventricles depolarize and then a fraction of a second later the ventricles repolarize and the cycle begins again.
Do the heart valves open at the same time?
>YesNo they do not.Left ventricle contracts before the right. (From the correct anatomical position.)That makes sense because the left ventricle has more work to do, systemic vs. pulmonary.http://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health/dci/Diseases/hhw/hhw_electrical.htmlWell guess what. This website is not entirely correct. Sometimes things are interpreted half right. What you want to focus on here from the EKG is the QRS complex. This is the depolarization and repolarization of the ventricles (not as they explained the firing of the left, then right ventricles). In general, you will say that the atria contract together and then the ventricles contract together. When you start splitting hairs, you can justify tiny differences in milliseconds, etc. Also, keep in mind that the left ventricle provides a much stronger contraction since it is sending out the blood to the systemic circuit, while the right goes out to the pulmonary circuit.
Ventricle force blood directly into what?
The ventricles contract and force the blood under pressure, past the semi lunar valves into the arteries. The closing of the bicuspid and tricuspid valves prevents back flow. At the same time the atria and ventricles relax and blood begins to flow back into them from the veins.
Are atria and auricle the same?
yes
How are atria and ventricles same?
They are pairs of chambers inside the heart, which have valves.
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.

If the atrioventricular node could be surgically removed from the heart without disrupting signal transmission to the Purkinje fibers what would be the effect?
Atria and ventricles would contract at about the same time.
Do the ventricles have the same rate as the atria in atrial fibrillation?
No. In atrial fibrillation, the atria have regional depolarizations at a rate of over 300 per minute. Fortunately, the atrioventricular node prevents the ventricular rate from being this high as we would die from lack of cardiac output. There are conditions where the ventricles are depolarized at a rate approximating the atrial depolarization - these include the Lown-Ganong-Levine and Wolff-Parkinson-White syndromes, and consist of abnormal tracts between the atria and ventricles around the AV node.
Name of the kind of blood ejected during systole?
Trick question. Systole means contraction and is commonly assumed to mean ventricular systole - contraction of the ventricles. These both contract at the same time and as the right is full of deoxygenated blood and the left full of oxygenated blood both types are pumped during systole.
How are the chambers of the heart separated?
upper left and right atria and lower left and right ventricles. Atria are divided by interatrial septum&ventricles by interventricular septum.Both Atria&Ventricles are separated by tricuspid&bicuspid valves
What events make up a cardiac cyle?
what takes place is that zekrom and reshiram start to fight and then kyurem joins in the fight hence black and white and in between there is gray just like truth and ideals and bouandry's of the fight between pokemon.
What are the slower heart chambers in the heart?
The heart has two top chambers called atria that receive blood from the body on the right side and from the lungs on the left side, and two bottom, muscular chambers that pump blood to the lungs and body respectively. There is a rate control center in the right atrium that tells the atria to beat first and then, after a small delay, the ventricles to beat. So all the chambers beat at the same rate under normal conditions. If there is a problem with the conduction (i.e. the communication system) between the atria and ventricles, the ventricles may not get all the messages to beat and will be slower... In some patients the ventricles may decide to start beating faster than the atria but this is very abnormal...

What two chambers contract last in the heart?
During diastole the atria fills with blood.
