Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Oxygen rich blood blood enters the left atrium from the lungs through the
A
aorta
B
vena cava
C
pulmonary artery
D
pulmonary veins
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: -Pulmonary veins: Your pulmonary veins do the opposite job of your pulmonary arteries. They collect oxygen-rich blood and carry it from your lungs to your heart. This blood empties into your heart’s top left chamber (left atrium).

Detailed explanation-3: -The pulmonary vein brings oxygenated blood from the lungs back to the heart. Blood gets oxygenated in a specialized organ called the lungs and is carried by the pulmonary veins back to the left atrium, which then pumps the oxygenated blood to the left ventricle.

Detailed explanation-4: -The right side of your heart receives oxygen-poor blood from your veins and pumps it to your lungs, where the blood picks up oxygen and gets rid of carbon dioxide. The left side of your heart receives oxygen-rich blood from your lungs and pumps it through your arteries to the rest of your body.
