Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The left side of heart comprises of deoxygenated blood
A
True
B
False
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -The left ventricle (LV) pumps the oxygen-rich blood through the aortic valve (AoV) into the aorta (Ao), the main artery that takes oxygen-rich blood out to the rest of the body.

Detailed explanation-3: -The right side of your heart receives oxygen-poor blood from your veins and pumps it to your lungs, where the blood picks up oxygen and gets rid of carbon dioxide. The left side of your heart receives oxygen-rich blood from your lungs and pumps it through your arteries to the rest of your body.

Detailed explanation-4: -Right atrium receives deoxygenated blood from different body parts while right ventricle pumps deoxygenated blood to the lungs.

Detailed explanation-5: -The right side pumps deoxygenated blood (low in oxygen and high in carbon dioxide) to the lungs. The left side pumps oxygenated blood (high in oxygen and low in carbon dioxide) to the organs of the body.
