The
left ventricle pumps oxygen-rich blood to the rest of the body through the
aorta.
The
right atrium receives deoxygenated blood from the body via the superior vena cava (SVC) and
inferior vena cava
(IVC).
The
right atrium receives deoxygenated blood from the vena cava, which is then pumped into the right ventricle by contraction of the
atria.
Blood flows back into the heart via the
pulmonary veins
, which empty into the
left
atrium.
