Superior vena cava Right atrium Aorta -Pulmonary artery Left atrium Pulmonary - circuit - Pulmonary vein Right ventricle • Left ventricle Inferior vena cava Systemic circuit Figure 16.10 The heart is divided into four chambers, two atria, and two ventricles. Each chamber is separated by one-way valves. The right side of the heart receives deoxygenated blood from the body and pumps it to the lungs. The left side of the heart pumps blood to the rest of the body. Which of the following statements about the circulatory system is false? a. Blood in the pulmonary vein is deoxygenated. b. Blood in the inferior vena cava is deoxygenated. c. Blood in the pulmonary artery is deoxygenated. d. Blood in the aorta is oxygenated.
