Oxygenated blood from the lungs returns to the heart through the pulmonary veins and is received by the left atrium (also known as the left auricle).
– The circulatory system involves the heart pumping blood to the lungs for oxygenation and then distributing the oxygenated blood to the rest of the body.
– Deoxygenated blood from the body enters the right atrium, goes to the right ventricle, and is pumped to the lungs via the pulmonary artery.
– Oxygenated blood from the lungs enters the left atrium, goes to the left ventricle, and is pumped to the body via the aorta.
The heart has four chambers: the right atrium and right ventricle (handling deoxygenated blood) and the left atrium and left ventricle (handling oxygenated blood). The atria (auricles) are the receiving chambers, and the ventricles are the pumping chambers.
