Deoxygenated blood is received by the heart and then pumped out toward the lungs. The now-oxygenated blood is received again by the heart and pumped out toward the rest of the body.
Which sequence of heart chambers correctly follows the path of blood described in the passage?

  1. right atrium ­ left ventricle ­ left atrium ­ right ventricle
  2. left atrium ­ right ventricle ­ right atrium ­ left ventricle
  3. right atrium ­ left atrium ­ left ventricle ­ right ventricle
  4. right atrium ­ right ventricle ­ left atrium ­ left ventricle

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

Deoxygenated blood is received by the right atrium via large veins called the venae cavae. It is then transferred to the right ventricle through the tricuspid valve and subsequently exits the heart through the semi lunar valve and is transferred to the pulmonary artery, where it is pumped toward the lungs for oxygenation. Oxygenated blood is received by the left atrium and transferred to the left ventricle through the mitral valve.
