PATHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The right atrium receives oxygen-poor blood from the body and pumps it to the right ventricle. The right ventricle pumps the oxygen-poor blood to the lungs. The left atrium receives oxygen-rich blood from the lungs and pumps it to the left ventricle. The left ventricle pumps the oxygen-rich blood to the body.

Detailed explanation-2: -The principal role of the ventricles is to pump blood out of the heart and into either systemic or pulmonary circulation. During diastole (relaxation) the ventricle is in the phase of passive filling where blood passes through the atria and into the ventricles.
