Detailed explanation-1: -The oxygenated blood is brought back to the heart by the pulmonary veins which enter the left atrium. From the left atrium blood flows into the left ventricle. The left ventricle pumps the blood to the aorta which will distribute the oxygenated blood to all parts of the body.
Detailed explanation-2: -After oxygenation, the oxygenated blood returns to the left atrium through the pulmonary vein which then further passes on to the left ventricle. Thus the right side of the heart carries deoxygenated blood and the left side of the heart carries oxygenated blood.
Detailed explanation-3: -The right ventricle takes oxygen-depleted blood out of the right atrium and thereafter travels it to the lungs for its oxygenation. The left ventricle collects oxygenated blood out of the left atrium to further distribute it to the aorta.
Detailed explanation-4: -Your heart is slightly on the left side of your body. It sits between your right and left lungs. The left lung is slightly smaller to make room for the heart in your left chest.
Detailed explanation-5: -Solution: The left side of the heart contains oxygenated blood.
