Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -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.
Detailed explanation-3: -The right ventricle pumps the blood to the lungs where it becomes oxygenated. The oxygenated blood is brought back to the heart by the pulmonary veins which enter the left atrium.
Detailed explanation-4: -Left atrium: one of the four chambers of the heart. The left atrium receives blood full of oxygen from the lungs and then empties the blood into the left ventricle.
Detailed explanation-5: -Pulmonary veins carry oxygen rich blood.
