Question

Name the chamber of the heart which receives deoxygenated blood and state how deoxygenated blood from this chamber is sent to the lungs for oxygenation.

Answer 1

The right atrium receives deoxygenated blood from the body through the superior and inferior vena cava. This blood is then pumped into the right ventricle, which contracts and sends it to the lungs for oxygenation via the pulmonary artery.
