The first link has an animated description.Anatomy of the Human Heart with Flash Illustration\n\n    *  The Right Atrium, receives "used blood" from the body. Blood will be pushed through the tricuspid valve to the\n\n    * Right Ventricle, the chamber which will pump to the lungs through the pulmonic valve to the\n\n    * Pulmonary Arteries, providing blood to both lungs. Blood is circulated through the lungs where carbon dioxide is removed and oxygen added. It returns through the\n\n    * Pulmonary Veins, which empty into the\n\n    * Left Atrium, a chamber which will push the Mitral Valve open. Blood then passes into the\n\n    * Left Ventricle. Although it doesn't always look like it in drawings done from this angle, this is the largest and most important chamber in the heart. It pumps to the rest of the body. As it pumps, the pressure will close the mitral valve and open the aortic valve, with blood passing through to the\n\n    * Aorta, where it will be delivered to the rest of the body.\n\n\nhttp://www.heartpoint.com/theheart.html\n\nhttp://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/heart/\n\nhttp://texasheart.org/HIC/Anatomy/Anatomy.cfm\n\nhttp://education.yahoo.com/reference/gray/illustrations/figure?id=505\n\nhttp://sln2.fi.edu/biosci/preview/heartsee.html\n\nhttp://www.geocities.com/Athens/Forum/6100/1heart.html\n\nSTRUCTURE OF THE HEART.\n\nhttp://www.infovisual.info/03/062_en.html\n\nhttp://www.cayuga-cc.edu/people/facultypages/greer/biol204/heart1/heart1.html\n\nhttp://www.geocities.com/Athens/Forum/6100/1HrtPics.html\n\nGood luck.\n\nKevin, Liverpool, England.

I found this great website http://www.yourpracticeonline.com.au/showcase.html\n\nIf you scroll right down to the bottom of the page there is a table in white, with a column labelled Heart, then under that click on the Heart Anatomy link. Sorry can't send you direct link - but this opens up a window with a superb anamation you can click around and even move around a 3d model of the heart. Then if you go through the presenation all the main items of the heart are shown.

Veins carry deoxygenated blood from the organs and tissues back to the heart.\nDeoxygenated blood from the body enters the right atrium through two great veins, the superior vena cava which drains the upper part of the body and the inferior vena cava that drains the lower part which drains the portal cyrculation too full with nutrients to nourish the body.

Yes, in the right atrium. We ended up having to get shocked to straighten it out. No more problems since two years ago.\n\nI have talked to other people who have taken medicine and gotten A Fib taken care of.

If you're referring to the heart, then it is, as the others said, a premature atrial contraction.  What this means is that instead of the electrical impulse for the heartbeat being generated by the group of cells known as the sinus node (located in the upper part of the right atrium), it was generated by some other "rogue" spot in the atrium.  This "rogue" spot fires its impulse sooner than the sinus node would have, hence the term "premature".

Right Shoulder corresponds to the cervical plexus' right aspect which maintains and nourishes that area.\n\nIn yogic philosophy, the right cervical plexus (Right Vishuddhi Chakra) represents the center of sweetness and diplomacy. If you look at it from a yogic point of view, it is a manifestation of a blockage of the R. Vishuddhi. To confirm or deny take a short test. Do these additional malfunctions related to the right cervical plexus manifest:\n\n1. Anger, use of sharp words.\n2. Inability to handle pressure situations diplomatically.\n3. Headache in the left part of the head/forehead.\n4. Issues with the liver.\n5. Heartburn/Constipation.\n\nIf some of the above manifest, then it might be a problem in the subtle system.\n\nthe solution is chakra cleansing and kundalini awakening is one good way to do it. Where could you learn it? There is possibly a free class closeby if you would care to look up on the Meditation Class directory (Sahaja Yoga is a method of cleansing chakras through Kundalini):\nhttp://sahajayoga.org/worldwidecontacts/default.asp\n\nTry out the basic excercise online:\nhttp://sahajayoga.org/experienceitnow/default.asp

It might be escape pacemaker.\n"ectopic p.  any biological cardiac pacemaker other than the sinoatrial node; under normal conditions it is not active. \n\nescape p.  an ectopic pacemaker that assumes control of cardiac impulse propagation because of failure of the sinoatrial node to generate one or more normal impulses.

Seems to be\na tough course.\n\nWondering if you are indeed taking this class if your instructor\nput together some useful resources in your syllabus, if the\nlibrary has been helpful (tailored tours/introductions, user friendly web site, etc).  Just curious. I see the library subscribes to MD consult and StatRef. Both are pretty good resources. \n\nAnyways,\nhope this helps...and good luck with this class if you are indeed taking it.\n\nIf not, well, the joke is on me.\n\nJanice

Named for Thomas Willis, the circle of Willis is almost a misnomer.  In only about 1/3 of humans does the series of arteries for a completed circle.   Often called the cerebral arterial circle, it links the major blood vessels supplying the brain: the Anterior, Middle and Posterior Cerebral Arteries.\nIt is thought to add redundancy to the supply of blood to the brain.  See the site below for additional information.

I'm not sure if this is enough info but...\nWhen the Left Atrium is full of blood, the heart muscle in the Left Ventricle relaxes so the muscles attached to the Mitral Valve open.

Cardioversion/Defibrillation. Everybody clear!\n\nThat is the only thing that I can think of, besides the medication adenosine. Something, or someone has to reset the av node.\n\nBut you know, now that I think about it, it could be a faulty mitral valve that caused the "a fib" in the first place. You should really speak to a cardiologist.\n\n*Update\nA pacemaker may also be a permanent means by which to control "A-fib" without meds. And speaking of meds, doctors don't like to use amiodarone because it is extremely toxic. Be careful stimulating those vagal receptors by coughing real hard, bearing down and such. It can cure "a fib" with a more potentially fatal heart rhythm called asystole. But don't take our word for it, I implore you to speak with a physician.
