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
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.
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.
What are the two heartbeat sounds?
The normal sinus rhythm sounds like a "lub-dub". The "lub" is the sound of the two atrioventricular valves (mitral for left atrium to left ventricle, tricuspid for right atrium to right ventricle) closing immediately after atrial contraction and then relaxation. The "dub" is the sound of the two sumilunar valves (aortic for left ventricle to aorta, pulmonary for right ventricle to pulmonary artery) closing immediately after ventricular contraction and then relaxation.
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).
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).

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.
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).
