Which chamber of the heart receives oxygenated blood from the lungs?
  1. Left atrium
  2. Right atrium
  3. Left ventricle
  4. Right ventricle
Explanation
Answer: A - Oxygenated blood from the lungs is returned to the left atrium of the heart. An atrium is a “receiving” chamber of the heart. The left atrium passes the oxygenated blood to the left ventricle so that it can be pumped into the aorta and delivered to all other cells of the body (except the lungs) through the systemic circulation path.
