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: -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 pulmonary veins carry oxygenated blood from the lungs to the left atrium.
