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.

The contraction of the right auricle forces the blood into what?
The contraction of the right auricle (or right atrium) forces blood into the right ventricle. This occurs during the cardiac cycle, specifically in the atrial systole phase, helping to fill the ventricle with deoxygenated blood that will be pumped to the lungs for oxygenation.
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.
How is the process of the right atrium contraction called?
The process of contraction of the right atrium is called atrial systole. During atrial systole, the right atrium contracts to push blood into the right ventricle, completing the filling of the ventricle before it contracts. This phase is crucial for efficient blood flow from the atria to the ventricles in the cardiac cycle.
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 contracts as the same time as the right ventricle?
The right atrium contracts simultaneously with the right ventricle during the cardiac cycle. This coordinated contraction occurs during systole, ensuring efficient blood flow from the atrium into the ventricle and then from the ventricle into the pulmonary artery. This synchronization is crucial for effective heart function and optimal circulation to the lungs for oxygenation.
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 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).
