Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
When blood flows into the right atrium from the body, it contains.
A
little oxygen and a lot of carbon dioxide
B
a lot of oxygen and little carbon dioxide
C
a lot of both oxygen and carbon dioxide
D
little of either oxygen or carbon dioxide
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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. Your lungs add oxygen to your blood.

Detailed explanation-2: -Oxygen-poor blood returns from the body to the heart through the superior vena cava (SVC) and inferior vena cava (IVC), the two main veins that bring blood back to the heart. The oxygen-poor blood enters the right atrium (RA), or the right upper chamber of the heart.

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: -The results showed no statistically significant differences between the blood oxygen saturation in the right atrium (72% ± 0.11%) and the blood oxygen saturation in the pulmonary artery (71% ± 0.08%).
