When blood enters the right atrium, where is it coming from?
A
The body
B
Left ventricle
C
Right Atrium
D
Lungs
Explanation: 

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: -Blood flows from the left atrium into the left ventricle through the open mitral valve. When the ventricle is full, the mitral valve shuts to prevent blood from flowing backwards into the atrium. Blood leaves the heart through the aortic valve into the aorta and to the rest of the body.

Detailed explanation-3: -The blood first enters the right atrium. The blood then flows through the tricuspid valve into the right ventricle. When the heart beats, the ventricle pushes blood through the pulmonic valve into the pulmonary artery. The pulmonary artery carries blood to the lungs where it “picks up” oxygen.

Detailed explanation-4: -Blood enters right atrium from superior and inferior vena cavae.

Detailed explanation-5: -Deoxygenated blood starts to run from the body. It flows into Superior/ Inferior Vena Cava. The flow of deoxygenated blood reaches the right atrium. The atrium will push the flow through the Tricuspid valve. The gore stays in the right ventricle. More items •30-Mar-2022
