Detailed explanation-1: -What does the vena cava do? Your superior vena cava and inferior vena cava have the important function of carrying oxygen-poor blood to your heart’s right atrium, where it moves into your right ventricle and then to your lungs (through your pulmonary artery) to trade in carbon dioxide for oxygen.
Detailed explanation-2: -Right atrium: Receives blood returning to the heart from the superior and inferior vena cava; transmits blood to the right ventricle, which pumps blood to the lungs for oxygenation. 4.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Eustachian valve is an embryologic remnant that lies at the junction of the inferior vena cava (IVC) and inferior right atrium (RA). In fetal development, the valve directs incoming oxygenated blood towards the foramen ovale and away from the right atrium.
