Left Atrium
A
two chambers of the heart that contain oxygenated blood
B
chamber of the heart that receives blood from the lungs
C
lining of the heart
D
muscular portion of cardiac wall
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The oxygenated blood is brought back to the heart by the pulmonary veins which enter the left atrium. From the left atrium blood flows into the left ventricle. The left ventricle pumps the blood to the aorta which will distribute the oxygenated blood to all parts of the body.

Detailed explanation-2: -Oxygen-rich blood flows from the lungs back into the left atrium (LA), or the left upper chamber of the heart, through four pulmonary veins. Oxygen-rich blood then flows through the mitral valve (MV) into the left ventricle (LV), or the left lower chamber.

Detailed explanation-3: -The left atrium receives blood full of oxygen from the lungs and then empties the blood into the left ventricle.

Detailed explanation-4: -The pulmonary artery carries oxygen-poor blood from the right ventricle into the lungs, where oxygen enters the bloodstream. The pulmonary veins bring oxygen-rich blood to the left atrium.

Detailed explanation-5: -The 2 upper chambers (atria) receive blood from the lungs (left atrium) and body (right atrium). When these chambers contract, blood is pumped to the 2 lower chambers (left and right ventricles).
