Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which chamber(s) would have oxygenated blood?
A
right atrium
B
left atrium
C
left ventricle
D
two of these
Explanation: 

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 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-3: -The left atrium and right atrium are the two upper chambers of the heart. 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.

Detailed explanation-4: -A typical heart has two upper and two lower chambers. The upper chambers, the right and left atria, receive incoming blood. The lower chambers, the more muscular right and left ventricles, pump blood out of the heart.

Detailed explanation-5: -Right atrium receives deoxygenated blood from different body parts while right ventricle pumps deoxygenated blood to the lungs.
