Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]

A	Right Ventricle
B	Left Ventricle
C	Right Atria
D	Left Atria

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: -The left atrium receives blood from the lungs. This blood is rich in oxygen. The left ventricle pumps the blood from the left atrium out to the body, supplying all organs with oxygen-rich blood.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -Pulmonary vein carries oxygenated blood from the lungs to the left atrium of the heart and from heart the oxygenated blood is supplied to the whole body. It is the only vein in the human body carrying oxygenated blood.
