Oxygenated blood is brought from the lungs to the left atrium by
Systemic aorta
Pulmonary vein
Postcaval
Precaval
Blood vessels
1. Systemic aorta or systemic arch - It originates from the left ventricle and distributes oxygenated blood to various body parts except lungs.
2. Pulmonary trunk or pulmonary arch - It originates from the right ventricle and gets divided into two pulmonary arteries that carry deoxygenated blood to lungs
3. Superior vena cava or precaval - It brings deoxygenated blood from head and upper parts of the body into the right atrium
4. Inferior vena cava or postcaval - It brings deoxygenated blood from the lower parts of the body into the right atrium
5. Pulmonary vein - These are four in number ( i.e. two from each lung) and bring oxygenated blood from the lungs to the left atrium
6. Coronary veins or coronary sinus - These return deoxygenated blood from heart wall into the right atrium
- wherein
Pulmonary vein are four in number ( i.e. two from each lung) and bring oxygenated blood from the lungs to the left atrium. Hence, the correct answer is option b.
