Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which part of the heart receives blood from the body?
A
Atria
B
Aorta
C
Ventricles
D
Pulmonary Artery
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.

Detailed explanation-2: -Pathway of Blood through the Heart Blood flows from the right atrium to the right ventricle, and then is pumped to the lungs to receive oxygen. From the lungs, the blood flows to the left atrium, then to the left ventricle. From there it is pumped to the systemic circulation.

Detailed explanation-3: -Right ventricle: Receives blood from the right atrium; pumps blood into the pulmonary artery.

Detailed explanation-4: -The right side of your heart receives oxygen-poor blood from your veins and pumps it to your lungs, where it 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-5: -The heart has four chambers: two atria and two ventricles. The right atrium receives oxygen-poor blood from the body and pumps it to the right ventricle. The right ventricle pumps the oxygen-poor blood to the lungs. The left atrium receives oxygen-rich blood from the lungs and pumps it to the left ventricle.
