What is the plural of atrium?

The plural is atria. This can be used architecturally or with reference to chambers of the heart.


What system does the atrium belong to?

The atrium belongs to the cardiovascular system, which is responsible for circulating blood throughout the body. The atrium is a chamber within the heart that receives blood from the body and sends it to the ventricles for pumping to the lungs or rest of the body.


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 are the Ridges in anterior wall of the right atrium called?

The ridges in the anterior wall of the right atrium are called pectinate muscles or pectinate ridges. These muscular ridges are important for increasing the surface area of the atrium to allow for more efficient contraction and blood flow.
