Detailed explanation-1: -Final answer: Vena cava is the blood vessel that carries deoxygenated blood to the right atrium.
Detailed explanation-2: -Deoxygenated blood from the lower half of the body enters the heart from the inferior vena cava while deoxygenated blood from the upper body is delivered to the heart via the superior vena cava. Both the superior vena cava and inferior vena cava empty blood into the right atrium.
Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -The blood vessels include the superior and inferior vena cava. These bring blood from the body to the right atrium. Next is the pulmonary artery that carries blood from the right ventricle to the lungs. The aorta is the body’s largest artery.
Detailed explanation-5: -Superior vena cava carries oxygenated blood from the upper half of the body to the right atrium.
