What is 1? Purpose?
right auricle, increase capacity of atrium
Right atrium purpose?
receives blood from vena cava, flows blood into right ventricle

What is 2? Purpose?
right ventricle, pumps blood into pulmonary artery

What is 3?
left auricle
Left atrium purpose?
receives blood from pulmonary veins, flows blood into left ventricle
