Detailed explanation-1: -Right atrium receives deoxygenated blood from different body parts while right ventricle pumps deoxygenated blood to the lungs. C. Left atrium receives oxygenated blood from lungs while left ventricle pumps oxygenated blood to different parts of the body.
Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -The Atria Are the Heart’s Entryways for Blood The left atrium receives oxygenated blood from the lungs. The right atrium receives deoxygenated blood returning from other parts of the body. Valves connect the atria to the ventricles, the lower chambers.
