Results from our forumHow does blood is circulated in amphibians?The frog circulatory system consist of two atria and one single ventricle. It is the only organ within the coelom which has its own protective covering. The single ventricle is not divided into two compartments like a humans heart, but it is separated ...

The HeartYes congratulations on 4! I'm afraid I don't really know for 2. Contractions in the atria at a basal level are caused by the SA node (which is part of neither system), but it is affected by parasympathetic from the vagus to slow it down, and sympathetic to speed it ...

The HeartOkay I'll do the 4. questions first because I'm relatively sure I can answer them correctly. The SA node sends a signal via the atrial-ventricular node (AV) down the purkinje fibres in the centre of the heart, causing it to contract from the bottom upwards (so the ventricles can empty ...
