Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The right ventricle pumps the blood from the right atrium into the lungs to pick up oxygen and remove carbon dioxide. 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-2: -Oxygen-poor blood from all over your body enters your right atrium through two large veins, your inferior vena cava and superior vena cava.

Detailed explanation-3: -The right atrium receives the low-oxygen blood that has just travelled round the body. The right atrium pumps the blood to the right ventricle. The right ventricle pumps the low-oxygen blood to the lungs to pick up a fresh supply of oxygen.
