When the atria contract, blood flows into the ventricles of the heart. Specifically, the right atrium sends deoxygenated blood into the right ventricle, while the left atrium sends oxygenated blood into the left ventricle. This contraction helps ensure that the ventricles are filled with blood before they contract and pump it out to the lungs and the rest of the body, respectively.
