At the beginning of the cardiac cycle after they receive an action potential from they synoatrial node. After a short pause, they produce the 'lubb' sound as the atrioventricular valves close to prevent back flow of blood.

What happens in the right atrium?
The atria are the two upper chambers of the heart (the ventricles are the lower two) The atria are the 'filling' chambers, so blood entering the heart passes through the atria first, which then push it down into the ventricles. The two largest veins in the body (the superior and inferior venae cavae) empty deoxygenated blood returning from the body into the right atrium. The right atrium then contracts, pushing the blood into the right ventricle. The right ventricle then pumps the deoxygenated blood to the lungs where it is oxygenated. After leaving the lungs, the newly oxygenated blood is returned via the pulmonary veins into the left atrium. The left atrium then contracts and pushes the blood into the left ventricle, which pumps the oxygenated blood around the rest of the body.
What keeps the blood from flowing back into the right atrium after it has entered the right ventricle?
The tricuspid valve prevents the backflow of blood to the right atrium..The tricuspid valve separates the right atrium from the right ventricle. It opens to allow the de-oxygenated blood collected in the right atrium to flow into the right ventricle. It closes as the right ventricle contracts, preventing blood from returning to the right atrium; thereby, forcing it to exit through the pulmonary valve into the pulmonary artery.
The sinoatrial node is located in the?
The SA (sinoatrial) node is a cluster of cells in the upper part of the right atrium (aka the right upper chamber of the heart).
What happen to the blood in the right atrium?
a little oxygen and a lot of carbon dioxide
What are the Ridges in anterior wall of the right atrium called?
Musculi Pectinati terminate at the Crista Terminalis in the Right Atrium. Musculi Pectinati can also be found in the Left Atrium.
What is the function of the right tricuspid valve when the right ventricle contracts?
It closes, preventing regurgitation of blood back into the right atrium.
What is the third chamber of the heart that the blood reaches?
there are 4 chambers of the heart. the left and right atrium and the left and right ventricle. the left atrium is where the blood enters the heart and leaves through the left ventricle and the opposite for the only side only to the lungs instead of the body
What happen when the ventricles of your heart contract?
The "beat" of your heart is the contraction of the right and left ventricles. The right atrium passes blood from the body into the right ventricle -- when the ventricle contracts, it forces shut the valve leading back to the atrium, and the blood is pushed into the pulmonary arteries that lead to the lungs. The blood returns from the lungs to the left atrium, and flows into the left ventricle. When the left ventricle contracts, the blood is pushed out of the ventricle into the aorta, the body's main artery, to be carried through the arterial system to the various parts of the body.
Does the right ventricle carry blood to the lungs?
Strictly speaking, anatomically, the right ventricle carries the blood from the right atrium to the pulmonary artery. The right ventricle contracts and propels the blood into the pulmonary artery at a higher pressure than that found in the right atrium.
What is the function of the vale?
The function of the tricuspid valve is to prevent blood from flowing back into the atrium when the right ventricle contracts.
What is the function of the tricuspid?
The function of the tricuspid valve is to prevent blood from flowing back into the atrium when the right ventricle contracts.
What is the function of tricuspid vale?
The function of the tricuspid valve is to prevent blood from flowing back into the atrium when the right ventricle contracts.
As each atrium contracts where does blood move?

How does Right Atrium work?
The right atrium receives blood returning to the heart from the rest of the body. This blood is now low in oxygen and high in carbon dioxide. So when the atrium contracts, it pushes this un-oxygenated blood out and into the right ventricle, which will then, sent the blood to the lungs to become oxygenated again for the process to start all over. This all happens in one heartbeat. The right atrium was also named right auriculum in older texts.

What would happen if the valve between the right atrium and the right verticle didn't work?
