Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -The IVC is a large blood vessel responsible for transporting deoxygenated blood from the lower extremities and abdomen back to the right atrium of the heart.
Detailed explanation-3: -The inferior vena cava carries blood from the legs, feet, and organs in the abdomen and pelvis. The vena cava is the largest vein in the body.
Detailed explanation-4: -Your pulmonary veins collect oxygen-rich blood from your lungs and carry it to your heart. From there, your heart sends the blood to all your other organs and tissues.
