Right atrium

The video tutorial focuses on the right atrium of the heart, explaining its role in blood circulation and its anatomical features. The right atrium receives deoxygenated blood from the body and passes it to the right ventricle. Key structures include the tricuspid valve, sinus venereum, and pectinate muscles. The video encourages interactive learning through Kenhub resources.

• Mitral valve

• Right atrioventricular valve

What forms the walls of the right atrium?
