What is the function of the Atria in a vertebrates heart?
The atria are chambers that receive blood that returns to the heart.

What chambers of the heart function to receive blood from veins?
Atria receive blood from the veins.
Is the atria of the heart located superiorly?
Yes, the atria are the superior chambers of the heart.
Where are the anterooms of the heart located?
The "anterooms" of the heart are also known as the atria.
What chamber of the heart function receive blood from the vein?
atria
What is the function of the chords attached to the valve flaps between the atria and the ventricle?
These chords are called the Chordea Tendinae. Their function is to stop the valves from invertung back into the atria. If they weeken and stretch they start to allow the valves to be pushed back into the atria, this is called floppy valve syndrome.
Where is the electrical conduction of the atria located?
Purkinje fibers
Is the function of the atria?
Its main function is to receive the blood that will then be pumped throughout the ventricles as well as the rest of the body.
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.
