Which chamber of the human heart receives deoxygenated blood from the body? MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Which chamber of the human heart receives deoxygenated blood from the body?
A. Right atrium
B. Left ventricle
C. Left atrium
D. Right ventricle
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
The right atrium receives deoxygenated blood from the body via the superior and inferior vena cavae. It then passes to the right ventricle, which pumps it to the lungs for oxygenation. The left atrium receives oxygenated blood from the lungs via pulmonary veins, and the left ventricle pumps it to the body. Thus, the right atrium is the receiving chamber for systemic deoxygenated blood.
