Source sentences:
text: While most ventricular filling occurs while the atria are relaxed, they do demonstrate a contractile phase and actively pump blood into the ventricles just prior to ventricular contraction.
text: The heart's natural pacemaker (sinoatrial node, or S-A node) then fires electrical impulses that cause both atria to contract and push the blood down into both ventricles.
text: Atria are relatively small, thin-walled chambers because they only need to contract minimally to push blood into the ventricles.
text: When the ventricles have completed most of their filling, the atria begin to contract (atrial systole), forcing blood under pressure into the ventricles.
text: Then, after tracing the P wave of the ECG , the two atria begin contracting (systole), pulsing blood under pressure into the ventricles.
text: The atria only pump this blood into the ventricles and therefore do not need particularly thick muscular walls.
text: When, in late diastole, the ventricles become fully dilated (understood in imaging as LVEDV and RVEDV), the atria begin to contract, pumping blood to the ventricles.
text: The atria and ventricles work together, contracting and relaxing to pump blood out of the heart.
text: Atriums pump blood through the aorta to the rest of the body
text: The contraction of the heart muscle starts in the two atria, which push the blood into the ventricles.
