Aorta
B
Right atrium
C
Right ventricle
D
Left atrium
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Blood enters the right atrium and passes through the right ventricle. 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. From the left atrium blood flows into the left ventricle.

Detailed explanation-2: -The right atrium receives blood low in oxygen from the body and then empties the blood into the right ventricle.

Detailed explanation-3: -Your upper chambers are called your right atrium and left atrium. Your lower chambers are called your right ventricle and left ventricle. Your chambers work together to manage your heartbeat. They also send blood into your lungs to gain oxygen before recirculating throughout your body.

Detailed explanation-4: -The blood vessels include the superior and inferior vena cava. These bring blood from the body to the right atrium. Next is the pulmonary artery that carries blood from the right ventricle to the lungs. The aorta is the body’s largest artery.
