| The ventricles respond irregularly to the dysrhythmic bombardment from the atria. |
|
| The best known of these are atrial receptors, which are nerves ending mainly at the junctions of the great veins with the atria. |
|
| The atria act as meeting places for the company's employees, and serve as buffer zones to provide passive solar energy gains. |
|
| Anticoagulation is required afterwards because the atria continue to fibrillate and the risk of systemic embolism persists. |
|
| The big curved glass roofs cover atria full of olive and mulberry trees that are overlooked from individual workplaces. |
|
| In some patients the atrioventricular node allows retrograde conduction of ventricular impulses to the atria. |
|
| It is postulated that the sinus impulse, as it emerges from the sinoatrial node, enters an area of slow conduction within the atria. |
|
| Heart block, lack of synchronization in the contractions of the upper and the lower chambers of the heart the atria and the ventricles. |
|
| In addition to arterial baroreceptors, low-pressure baroreceptors exist and these respond to the degree of stretch of veins and the cardiac atria. |
|
| The expanded flaps of the valves are restrained by the chordae tendineae and papillary muscles from opening into the atria. |
|
| Contraction of the right and left atria forces blood past the right tricuspid and left bicuspid valves into the right and left ventricles, respectively. |
|
| Shopping malls often enclose large open spaces and atria with high solar and internal gains that can drive ventilative cooling. |
|
| Prolongs action potential duration and effective refractory period in atria, Purkinje fibres and ventricular muscle. |
|
| The atria receive blood from various parts of the body and pass it into the ventricles. |
|
| The atrioventricular valves are thin, leaflike structures located between the atria and the ventricles. |
|
| The exterior walls, as the second layer, follow the enclosure as it winds around the atria. |
|
| Radio-frequency waves are sent through the clamp to create scar tissue where the veins meet the atria, to block abnormal signalling. |
|
| If a blood clot forms in the atria, it can exit the heart and block an artery in the brain, resulting in a stroke. |
|
| As the ventricles contract the atria relax, allowing them to fill with blood and start the next beat. |
|
| If a blood clot in the atria leaves the heart and becomes lodged in an artery in the brain, a stroke results. |
|
|
|
| Thanks to its VVV³-shaped configuration, the building features north-facing winter gardens and south-facing atria. |
|
| Winter gardens and atria provide thermal insulation and natural ventilation, keeping energy consumption and emissions to a minimum. |
|
| The atria consist of transit areas and common spaces with a moderate temperature. |
|
| In the heart rate control strategy, therapy is aimed at controlling the rate at which the lower chambers of the heart beat, while allowing the atria to continue to fibrillate. |
|
| Electrical dissociation of the atria from the great veins was carried out by surgical excision of the veins from their insertion sites and then suturing them back. |
|
| The open courtyard, with its surrounding arcades, is clearly descended from the cloister, itself another Roman type that goes back to the atria of the houses of the rich. |
|
| This form, upon which our modern atria are based, was enclosed on all sides by buildings with roofs sloping to a columned peristyle or walkway around a courtyard. |
|
| Blood flows from the atria to the ventricles through a one-way valve. |
|
| Escape rhythms are the result of spontaneous activity from a subsidiary pacemaker, located in the atria, atrioventricular junction, or ventricles. |
|
| The atria, which are very large, are used for a very wide variety of activities ranging from meetings to bridge to potluck dinners. |
|
| Archetypal forms such as porches, arcades and conservatories animate external edges, while courtyards and atria bring light and air into deep plans. |
|
| Smoke management in large structures such as atria, covered shopping malls, airport terminals and sports arenas can present a major design challenge. |
|
| Remove the heart by cutting through the vessels and atria at its base. |
|
| The larger, lower chambers of the heart that receive blood from the atria and are responsible for pumping blood out of the heart and to the body and lungs. |
|
| Due to the restrictions imposed on the exterior of the building for such essential items as windows, CSIS stated that the complex could incorporate one or more internal courts or atria. |
|
| Twin banks of teaching accommodation with a central corridor are punctuated by either three-storey high atria or open areas of hard landscape. |
|
| Thermal buffers: the design of the high thermal insulation atria, heated in the winter by solar energy, will create a microclimate which acts as a thermal buffer, thus reducing energy consumption for heating. |
|
| The slower flow of blood promotes formation of clots in the atria. |
|
| As a result, blood can pool in the atria and can form clots. |
|
| The heart muscle relaxes, and blood flows into the atria from the pulmonary veins and vena cava. |
|
|
|
| The building has openable windows which are used for inlet and outlet air, or predominantly inlet in the buildings with atria where these act as exhaust plenums, driven by both wind and stack effects. |
|
| The mammalian heart has four chambers, two upper atria, the receiving chambers, and two lower ventricles, the discharging chambers. |
|
| The two layers of the façade part ways at the atria, as the balcony becomes a two-tiered viaduct that follows the outer perimeter of the building. |
|
| Most ablations are performed inside the atria by tiny devices mounted at the end of long catheters threaded into the heart from a vein in the thigh. |
|
| It functions to carry the electrical impulse from the atria to the ventricle. |
|
| Heymann chose not to return messages left with his publisher, atria Books. |
|
| The chordae tendineae and the papillary muscles from which they arise limit the extent to which the portions of the valves near their free margin can billow toward the atria. |
|
| The vertically stacked atria form an uninterrupted green link for the Winter Garden up to the sky. |
|
| In climates with mainly overcast sky conditions sunlighting strategies may work, but as the area of glazing is reduced by comparison with conventional atria, they may not be so effective under all conditions. |
|
| Sunlight in atria can cause glare, either directly or by reflection. |
|
| These option gives specifiers the flexibility to construct sloped roofs, atria, canopies, valleys and pyramids, which are fully compatibles and visually consistent with the vertical façade. |
|
| In mature Arion the atrium is divided into upper and lower atria, with the oviduct, spermatheca duct and epiphallus opening into the upper atrium. |
|
| The atria of the heart also function as part of the excretory system by filtering waste products out of the blood and dumping it into the coelom as urine. |
|
| The atria, ventricles, and septum are supplied of blood by this modality. |
|
| The hardcover edition from Atria Books is scheduled for fall 2003, and the mass market paperback release is scheduled for 2004 from Pocket Books. |
|
| Prior to Atria, Levine was one of the early employees at Apollo Computer, which later grew into HP's market-leading Workstation group. |
|
| The Kentucky and Colorado chapters are participating in demonstration projects with Atria Communities, Inc. |
|
| Atria Group, which already operates a 170 room property, has firmed up plans for a 100-120 room hotel in Whitefield, which houses the International Tech Park. |
