Which of the following statements is INCORRECT? The coronary sinus empties into the left atrium. Portions of the interior wall of the right atrium have pectinate muscles while the walls of the left atrium are smooth. The left atrium receives blood from 4 pulmonary veins. The left and right ventricles contain chordae tendineae and trabeculae carneae.

The coronary sinus empties into the left atrium.

Damage or dysfunction of the sinoatrial node does not result in cardiac failure because additional portions of the autorhythmic fibers can create action potentials. If a heart rate was measured at 30 beats/min, it may indicate that these fibers are creating spontaneous action potential in the heart.

Which statement concerning the pulmonary arteries is FALSE? The right ventricle pumps blood into the pulmonary arteries.
