The atria are the heart chambers which receive blood from other organs into the heart. The structure of the atria is determined by the type of function which they performed. Atria are thin walled with no inlet valve and their contraction is gentle and incomplete. Thus, the walls of the atria are thin because they are not involve in blood pumping. The ventricle on the other hand has thick, muscular wall because it has to pump blood out of the heart through strong contractions and it thus generate higher blood pressure. The left ventricle is even thicker than the right ventricle because it has to pump blood out to the greater parts of the body while the right ventricle only pump out blood to the lungs.

Why is the structure of dna called a double helix?
jeka57 [31]
The structure of DNA is called a double helix because DNA is made up of two strands of nucleotides wound together in a spiral. 

DNA has two strands that run opposite of each other and twist together much like a twisted ladder. Each backbone of the ladder is made up of alternating groups of sugar and phosphate groups.
