(atropine or Robinul can counteract stimulations) Automaticity - ANSWER heart pumps on its own Heart has four chamber- what are they - ANSWER left atrium, right atrium, left ventricle, right ventricle Where does the left atrium receive blood from - ANSWER from the lungs, via the pulmonary vein- oxygen rich blood Where does the right atrium receive blood from - ANSWER from the peripheral (body's) circulation and is oxygen poor the ventricles receive blood from where - ANSWER the atria Ventricle anatomy - ANSWER thicker walls larger chambers left ventricle is the thickest m. Where does the right ventricle send blood - ANSWER deoxygenated blood to the lungs
