    In humans, blood passes from the post caval to the diastolic right atrium of heart due to

    A)  pushing open of the venous valves s

    B)  suction pull                     

    C)   stimulation of the sino auricular node

    D)  pressure difference between the cava and atrium

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                     The action of heart includes contractions and relaxations of the atria and ventricles. Contraction of the heart is called systole and  relaxation is called diastole. The dynamics of blood flow in blood vessels is no exception and blood flows through the blood vessels along a pressure gradient, always moving from higher to lower pressure areas. Fundamentally, the pumping action of heart generates blood flow. The contraction of atria is initiated and activated  by sino-atrial    node   (SA node-Pacemaker), which spreads the waves of contraction across the wall of atria via muscle fibres at regular intervals.
