Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which side of the heart contains deoxygenated (blue) blood?
A
right
B
left
C
both
D
neither
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Thus the right side of the heart carries deoxygenated blood and the left side of the heart carries oxygenated blood.

Detailed explanation-2: -The left atrium receives oxygenated blood from the lungs. The right atrium receives deoxygenated blood returning from other parts of the body. Valves connect the atria to the ventricles, the lower chambers.

Detailed explanation-3: -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.

Detailed explanation-4: -the right side of the heart pumps blue (deoxygenated – little or no oxygen) blood returning from the body back to the lungs.

Detailed explanation-5: -The oxygen-poor blood enters the right atrium (RA), or the right upper chamber of the heart. From there, the blood flows through the tricuspid valve (TV) into the right ventricle (RV), or the right lower chamber of the heart.
