Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Blood from the Inferior and Superior Vena Cava is:
A
Oxygenated
B
Deoxygenated
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Deoxygenated blood from the lower half of the body enters the heart from the inferior vena cava while deoxygenated blood from the upper body is delivered to the heart via the superior vena cava. Both the superior vena cava and inferior vena cava empty blood into the right atrium.

Detailed explanation-2: -Together, your superior vena cava and inferior vena cava collect deoxygenated blood from your whole body and bring it back to your heart for new oxygen. This is why the vena cava veins are the largest veins in your body.

Detailed explanation-3: -Oxygen-poor blood returns from the body to the heart through the superior vena cava (SVC) and inferior vena cava (IVC), the two main veins that bring blood back to the heart. The oxygen-poor blood enters the right atrium (RA), or the right upper chamber of the heart.

Detailed explanation-4: -The superior vena cava carries blood from the head, neck, arms, and chest. The inferior vena cava carries blood from the legs, feet, and organs in the abdomen and pelvis.

Detailed explanation-5: -The right atrium receives deoxygenated blood from systemic circulation through the superior vena cava and inferior venae cavae.
