right cardiac atrium in dogs

A cardiac atrium that is in the right side of the heart. It receives deoxygenated blood. In mammals, this comes from the superior and inferior vena cava and the coronary sinus, and pumps it into the right ventricle through the tricuspid valve. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.

What the right cardiac atrium is

A cardiac atrium that is in the right side of the heart. It receives deoxygenated blood. In mammals, this comes from the superior and inferior vena cava and the coronary sinus, and pumps it into the right ventricle through the tricuspid valve. The atlas records it as a organ at the organ scale in the dog.

Where the right cardiac atrium is

It sits in the thorax and trunk, within the cardiovascular system. Positioned deliberately as part of this species body plan.

What the right cardiac atrium connects to

The atlas records 25 typed relationships for it, across 11 kinds of connection. part of anatomical entity, heart and organ.

Supply and innervation

Venous drainage: inferior vena cava and anterior vena cava.
