What is The function of left and right bundle branches?
The right bundle carries nerve impulses that cause contraction of the right ventricle (the lower chamber of the heart) and the left bundle carries nerve impulses that cause contraction of the left ventricle.
What is the sequence of blood through the heart?
The wave of contraction in heart is initiated by S.A. Node which leads left auricles to contract. This wave of contraction is received by A.V.Node which contracts right auricle and spreads the wave of contraction to bundle of his and finally to purkinje fibre which contracts the two ventricles simultaneously anterioposteriorly. Therefore sequence of contraction is 1Left Auricle 2 Right auricle 3 ventricle
Is the pressure in the right ventricle higher or lower than the left ventricle?
The pressure in the left ventricle is significantly higher than the pressure in the right ventricle. This is true with the assumption that you are referring to ventricular systole (contraction of the ventricle). The left ventricle forces blood out of the heart into the aorta to all parts of the body, and that same pressure forces blood back through the veins.
What fibers cause a contraction in the ventricle?
Pirkinje Fibers
Why is blood pressure higher in left ventricle than in right ventricle?
The pressure in the left ventricle is significantly higher than the pressure in the right ventricle. This is true with the assumption that you are referring to ventricular systole (contraction of the ventricle). The left ventricle forces blood out of the heart into the aorta to all parts of the body, and that same pressure forces blood back through the veins.

What does the blood pass through to get to the right ventricle?
Blood passes through the right atrium to the right atrioventricular valve, or "AV valve" for short, into the right ventricle during pulmonary contraction.
Is the right atrium is electrically insulated from the right ventricle?
no, otherwise the SA Node wouldn't be able to control the contraction of the heart
What is another name for ventricular contraction?
It is the muscular contraction of the heart muscles to pump blood out of the heart. The right ventricle contracts to send blood through the pulmonary arteries, and the left ventricle contracts to send blood into the aorta.
Is the pressure in the right ventricle higher or lower than the left ventricle?
The pressure in the left ventricle is significantly higher than the pressure in the right ventricle. This is true with the assumption that you are referring to ventricular systole (contraction of the ventricle). The left ventricle forces blood out of the heart into the aorta to all parts of the body, and that same pressure forces blood back through the veins.
What causes the pulmonary valve to close?
This is caused by a difference in pressure: higher pressure in the ventricle than in the atrium. As the atrium contraction finishes filling the ventricle with blood, the equalization of pressure allows the valve to fold back toward the atrium. The beginning of the contraction of the ventricular cardiac muscle causes higher pressure in the ventricle than the atrium, and this seals the valve shut. The valve opens again as the ventricle relaxes, and the atrium, filled again with blood, begins another contraction.
What fibers cause a contraction in the ventricle?
Pirkinje Fibers
What is ventricular contractions?
It is the muscular contraction of the heart muscles to pump blood out of the heart. The right ventricle contracts to send blood through the pulmonary arteries, and the left ventricle contracts to send blood into the aorta.
What is the phase of ventricular contraction called?
It is called systole. This is when the ventricles contract and eject blood into the lungs (from the right ventricle) or into the systemic circulation (from left ventricle).
Explain how the contraction and relaxation of the chamber walls move blood through he heart?
Contraction: 'eject' the blood out of the heart due to reduce in size of heart chamber. From left ventricle, the blood will be pushed into the systemic circulation whereas on the right ventricle, the dehydrogenated blood is pushed into the pulmonary circulation (ie: lung). Relaxation: allow the heart to be filled with blood. Freshly oxygenated blood from the lung will move into left atrium and so thus the left ventricle whereas on the right side of the heart, blood now started to fill in the right atrium and the right ventricle again.
One way flow of blood from the right ventricle is ensured by the presence of the valve?
The pulmonary valve ensures one-way flow of blood from the right ventricle to the pulmonary artery. It opens to allow blood to be pumped into the pulmonary artery during ventricular contraction, and then closes to prevent backflow of blood into the right ventricle during relaxation.
