Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which chamber of the heart receives deoxygenated blood from the body?
  • Step 1: Understand that the heart has four chambers: two atria (upper chambers) and two ventricles (lower chambers).
  • Step 2: Know that deoxygenated blood is blood that has delivered oxygen to the body and is returning to the heart.
  • Step 3: Identify the two main veins that bring deoxygenated blood back to the heart: the superior vena cava and the inferior vena cava.
  • Step 4: Recognize that the right atrium is the chamber of the heart that receives this deoxygenated blood from the superior and inferior vena cavae.
  • Step 5: Conclude that the right atrium is responsible for receiving deoxygenated blood from the body.
