Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The oxygenated and deoxygenated blood mix inside the heart.
A
In the right auricle
B
In the left auricle
C
In the ventricle
D
No where
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -There is no mixing of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood in the heart because of a partition called septum. This partition completely separates the left and the right side of the heart. The heart has valves that allow blood to flow only in one direction.

Detailed explanation-2: -When abnormal passages exist in the heart, oxygenated and deoxygenated blood can mix in the heart. This depletes the oxygen in the blood and makes the heart work harder to deliver oxygen to the body.

Detailed explanation-3: -There is no mixing of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood in the human heart.

Detailed explanation-4: -There is no mixing of deoxygenated and oxygenated blood in human heart due to the presence of inter-atrial and inter-ventricular septum. These septa completely divide the atria and ventricles into right and left to avoid mixing of blood.

Detailed explanation-5: -In four-chambered heart, the left half is completely separated from right half by septa. This prevents oxygenated and deoxygenated blood from mixing. This allows a highly efficient supply of oxygenated blood to all parts of the body. This is useful in animals that have high energy needs, such as birds and mammals.
