Statement 1: Atria receive blood from all parts of the body which subsequently flows to ventricles.
Statement 2: Action potential generated at sino-atrial node passes from atria to ventricles.
Options
Action mentioned in Statement 1 is dependent on action mentioned in Statement 2
Action mentioned in Statement 2 is dependent on action mentioned in Statement 1
Action mentioned in Statements 1 and 2 are independent of each other
Action mentioned in Statements 1 and 2 are synchronous

Solution
Action mentioned in Statements 1 and 2 are synchronous
Explanation:
Statement 1: The atria receive blood from all of the body's organs, which then flow to the ventricles.
Statement 2: The action potential generated at the sino-atrial node travels via the atria and into the ventricles.
The action in Statement 2 is dependent on the action in Statement 1.
