Question
which chambers contract simultaneously?
a two atria
b right atrium and right ventricle
c all chambers contract simultaneously.
d all chambers contract individually.
In the cardiac cycle, the two atria (left and right atrium) contract simultaneously. This is followed by the contraction of the two ventricles (left and right ventricle) simultaneously. So, option A is correct. Option B is incorrect as atrium and ventricle do not contract at the same time. Option C is wrong because atria and ventricles have different contraction times. Option D is incorrect as atria contract together and ventricles contract together.
