The left atrium of the heart receives oxygen-rich blood from the lungs via the pulmonary veins. When the left atrium contracts, it pushes this blood into the left ventricle. The left ventricle then pumps the oxygenated blood into the aorta for distribution throughout the body. It's the right ventricle that receives deoxygenated blood from the body, not oxygen-rich blood from the lungs.
Blood entering the left ventricle is rich in oxygen. In contrast, oxygen-poor blood enters the right ventricle.
The blood leaving the left ventricle is oxygen-rich and the blood coming out of the right ventricle is oxygen-poor. It then goes through the pulmonary arteries and into the capillaries of the lung where the carbon dioxide is exchanged for oxygen.
Yes, the right ventricle transports oxygenated blood to the lungs.
The right ventricle pumps deoxygenated blood to the lungs.
the atria and ventricle work together as a team - the atria fill with blood, then dump it into the ventricle. The ventricle then squeeze, pumping blood out the heart, while the ventricle are squeezing, the atria refill and gets ready for the next contraction. so when the blood gets pumped ,how does it know which way to go?
rich oxygen
poor
Yes, the left ventricle receives oxygen-rich blood from the lungs and pumps it to the rest of the body via the aorta.
Oxygen goes from the muscles to the right atrium, from there it goes to the right ventricle and into the lungs then it passes from the lungs to through the left atrium and into the left ventricle where it is recirculated through the body.
No. It pumps deoxygenated blood into the pulmonary vein to get oxygenated. The LEFT ventricle is the oxygen rich one.
The vessel that conveys oxygen-poor blood from the right ventricle is called the pulmonary artery.
The right ventricle carries oxygen poor blood that will be sent to the lungs via the pulmonary artery.
