In humans, which chamber of the heart receives oxygen-rich blood from the lungs first ?

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: A

Explanation

The human heart functions through a double circulation system. Oxygen-rich (oxygenated) blood returns from the lungs via the pulmonary veins and enters the Left Atrium first. This makes the left atrium the initial chamber to receive oxygenated blood.

  • Left Atrium: Receives oxygenated blood from the lungs.
  • Left Ventricle: Receives blood from the left atrium and pumps it to the entire body through the aorta.
  • Right Atrium: Receives deoxygenated blood from the body's tissues via the vena cava.
  • Right Ventricle: Pumps deoxygenated blood to the lungs for gas exchange via the pulmonary artery.

Because the pulmonary veins specifically drain into the left atrium, option A is the correct answer.
