What part of the heart is described as having thin walls that store blood returning to the heart?

The atria are the chambers of the heart that have thin walls and receive the blood returning to the heart from the body (right atrium) and the lungs (left atrium). They act as collecting chambers and help in pumping blood into the ventricles.


Where does the foramen ovale allow blood flow to and from?

That is a good question! You get the oxygenated blood from the placenta via umbilical vein in case of the fetus. This vein enters the liver of the fetus. The blood then goes to right atrium of the fetus. The lungs are closed in the fetus. So the blood goes to left atrium through foramen ovale to bypass the pulmonary circulation of the fetus. After the birth of the baby, baby takes the first breath. The lungs get inflated. Blood starts to flow via lungs. This closes the foramen ovale. The marking remains there on the wall between both the atria.


The right atrium really receives blood from what?

The Right Atrium receives deoxygenated blood from the superior and inferior vena cava and pumps it into the right ventricle through the tricuspid valve. It then pumps it into the lungs to be oxygenated.


What is the major difference between the right heart and the left heart?

There are many differences between the right and left side of the heart. However, the major difference between these sides of the heart is that blood is taken into the left side of the heart while the right side pushes the blood through the body.


What veins are connected to the heart?

Heart Muscle VeinsThe veins that return blood from the heart muscle include the small cardiac vein (where present), the great cardiac vein (mostly from the left marginal vein), the middle cardiac vein, and the anterior cardiac veins. Most of these join to form the coronary sinus.Veins returning blood to the heart (right atrium - 7 )Inferior vena cavaSuperior vena cavaAnterior cardiac veinsSmallest cardiac veinsCoronary sinusVeins returning blood to the heart (left atrium - 4 )Left pulmonary veins (inferior and superior)Right pulmonary veins (inferior and superior)

From which vein does the left atrium receive blood?

The pulmonary vein


Ventricles receive blood from veins?

No, ventricles receive blood from the atria. The superior and inferior vena cava (large veins) both bring blood to the right atrium of the heart. Blood leaves the right atrium and enters the right ventricle. The right ventricle pumps blood to the lungs. The pulmonary veins return oxygenated blood from the lungs to the left atrium. Blood leaves the left atrium and enters the left ventricle. The left ventricle then pumps blood to the rest of the body.

What one what areas receive blood directly from the four pulmonary veins the left atrium lungs left ventricle right atrium or right ventricle?

The left atrium. The blood has just returned from the lungs, so it is oxygenated. The left atrium will empty into the left ventricle, which can pump this newly oxygenated blood to the rest of the body.


What type of blood does the left atrium receive?

The right side of the heart receives blood from the body and pumps it to the lungs, then pumps it out into the body.


What is the main function of the right atria left atria?

The main function of the right atrium is to receive deoxygenated blood from the body and pump it to the right ventricle. The main function of the left atrium is to receive oxygenated blood from the lungs and pump it to the left ventricle.
