When atria relax ventricles do what?

When relaxed, the atria expand, and then the ventricles contract.


How much blood from the aorta passes into the ventricles before the atria contract?

lots :)


What do the atria do at the same time?

The atria contract simultaneously to push blood into the ventricles. This coordinated contraction ensures efficient filling of the ventricles with blood before they contract to pump blood out to the rest of the body.


When do the atria contact?

The atria contract during the cardiac cycle's atrial systole phase, which occurs just before the ventricles contract. This contraction helps push blood from the atria into the ventricles, completing the filling of the ventricles before they contract during ventricular systole. Atrial contraction is facilitated by electrical signals from the sinoatrial (SA) node, ensuring synchronized heart function.


What percentage of the blood from the atria passes into the ventricles before the atrial walls contract?

About 60-70%, but decreases in case of tachycardia, it may even reach about 50% in case of severe exercise


What makes the valves between atriums open and close?

There are no valves between the atria. The valves between the atria and ventricles close when the ventricles contract.


When the atria contract the blood is forced into the?

The blood is squeezed into the ventricles.


What percent of blood pass from the atria to the ventricles before the atrial walls contract?

70% the remaining 30% is pushed into the ventricles during atrial systole


Are ventricles superior?

In the context of the heart, the ventricles are not considered superior; they are actually located inferior to the atria. The atria are positioned above the ventricles, receiving blood from the body and lungs before it is pumped into the ventricles. Therefore, in anatomical terms, the atria are superior to the ventricles.


Which valves lie between the atria and ventricles and prevent bloof from flowing back into the atria when the venttricals contract?

semilunar valves


During a heartbeat what do the ventricles do while the atria relax?

they are in the heart of humans only


Is the other pump in your heart move blood from the atria into the ventricles?

No, the other pump in the heart does not move blood from the atria into the ventricles. Instead, the atria receive blood returning to the heart, and they contract to push blood into the ventricles. The ventricles then pump blood out of the heart to the lungs and the rest of the body. This coordinated action ensures efficient blood circulation.
