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: -The pulmonary veins bring oxygen-rich blood to the left atrium. The aorta carries oxygen-rich blood to the body from the left ventricle.
Detailed explanation-3: -Pulmonary veins: Carry oxygen-rich blood from your lungs to your heart. All of your pulmonary veins (usually four) directly empty into your heart’s left atrium.
Detailed explanation-4: -The left atrium receives blood full of oxygen from the lungs and then empties the blood into the left ventricle.
