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: -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-3: -In the human heart, oxygenated blood flows through the right side and carbon dioxide-rich blood flows through the left side.
Detailed explanation-4: -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. Deoxygenated blood enters the right atrium from the vena cava.
