The function of the atria is to
A
pump blood to the lungs
B
pump blood to the body
C
receive blood that comes to the heart
D
deliver oxygen to body tissues
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The two atria are thin-walled chambers that receive blood from the veins. The two ventricles are thick-walled chambers that forcefully pump blood out of the heart.

Detailed explanation-2: -The blood enters the heart’s right atrium and is pumped to your right ventricle, which in turn pumps the blood to your lungs. The pulmonary artery then carries the oxygen-poor blood from your heart to the lungs.

Detailed explanation-3: -The right atrium receives blood from the body. This blood is low in oxygen. This is the blood from the veins. The right ventricle pumps the blood from the right atrium into the lungs to pick up oxygen and remove carbon dioxide.

Detailed explanation-4: -Blood enters the right atrium and passes through the right ventricle. The right ventricle pumps the blood to the lungs where it becomes oxygenated. The oxygenated blood is brought back to the heart by the pulmonary veins which enter the left atrium. From the left atrium blood flows into the left ventricle.
