The sinoatrial (SA) node, located in the right atrium, is responsible for initiating the electrical impulses that stimulate both atria to contract simultaneously. These electrical impulses spread through specialized conducting fibers called the internodal pathways to ensure coordinated atrial contraction.

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.
What is the P wave of electrocardiogram closely followed by?
Contraction of both atria
Are nucleus found in plant cells animal cells or both?
both.
Are mitochondria found in plants cells animals cells or both?
Both animal and plant cells have mitochondria.
Are lymosomes found in animal or plant cells?
They are in both. But more abundant in animal cells.
What node triggers an im pulse that causes both atria to?
the atriventriculart node causes both atria to contract
What do both atria do at the same time?
They both contract at the same time.
What Node that triggers an impulse that causes both atria?
The Sinoatrial Node sends a wave of electric impulses through the heart, which causes both atria to contract.
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.
The SA node triggers an impulse that causes both atria to do what?
SA node sends an impulse for the atria to contract. AV node is then activated which contracts the ventricles.
What are the fibrous structures in the heart that prevent prolapse of the cuspid valves?
Chordae tendineae - attached to the valves between both atria and ventricles... these structures are attached to papillary muscles in the bottom of the ventricles. these contract when the valves contract, this keeps the blood from going back up into the atria.
Which heart valve is open under pressure?
When the atria contract, there is increase in pressure in the atrial chambers. So both bicuspid and tricuspid valves opened up. When both the ventricles contract, both the bicuspid and tricuspid valves get closed. This opens up the aortic and pulmonary valves.
What are the two types of cardiac myocytes?
The two types of cardiac myocytes are atrial myocytes, found in the atria of the heart, and ventricular myocytes, found in the ventricles of the heart. Atrial myocytes help facilitate the contraction of the atria, while ventricular myocytes aid in the contraction of the ventricles to pump blood throughout the body.
What do both atria empty into?
I am not sure, but i think they empty into the chambers.
What is the P wave of electrocardiogram closely followed by?
Contraction of both atria
What is the significance of the delay in transmission at the AV node in the heart?
The transmission delay at the AV node in the heart allows both ventricles to relax and be refilled by the contracting atria. After the AV node delay, the ventricles contract and force blood into the aorta (systemic circulation).
Which part of the heart recives blood?
both the right and left atria receive blood.
