Name the blood vessel that brings (i) oxygenated blood (ii) deoxygenated blood, to the human heart. Also name that chamber of the heart which receives deoxygenated blood and state how deoxygenated blood from this chamber is sent to lungs for oxygenation.
Solution
(i) Pulmonary vein
(ii) Vena cava
Right atrium
After receiving blood, the right atrium contracts
As a result blood passes into the right ventricle
Then the ventricle contracts and the deoxygenated blood flows into the lungs through pulmonary artery.
