Detailed explanation-1: -The inferior and superior vena cava bring oxygen-poor blood from the body into the right atrium. The pulmonary artery carries oxygen-poor blood from the right ventricle into the lungs, where oxygen enters the bloodstream. The pulmonary veins bring oxygen-rich blood to the left atrium.
Detailed explanation-2: -Your inferior vena cava, your body’s largest vein, carries oxygen-depleted blood back to your heart from the lower part of your body (below your diaphragm). Your superior vena cava, your second biggest vein, brings oxygen-poor blood from your upper body to your heart.
Detailed explanation-3: -The veins (in blue) carry blood that has a low level of oxygen back to the right side of the heart. Blood from the veins is pumped from the right side of the heart through the blood vessels of the lungs, where new oxygen is picked up.
