Blood
What kind of pump is the heart?
Dual
Name of upper chambers of heart
atria

Left heart
Side of heart pumps blood for systemic circulation
Left heart
This influence speeds up heart rate
Sympathetic
This influence slows down heart rate
Parasympathetic
Recording of electrical activity in heart
Electrocardiography
Leads to contraction of Atria
Atrial depolarization
Leads to contraction of ventricles
Ventricular depolarization
Occurs at P wave
Atrial depolarization
