Solution

The correct option is B
Auricles receive blood and push this into ventricles

Blood enters the heart through two large veins, emptying deoxygenated blood from the body into the right auricle of the heart. Then the blood flows from the right auricle into the right ventricle through the tricuspid valve. When the right ventricle contracts, blood is pumped through the pulmonary valve, into the pulmonary artery and into the lungs where it picks up oxygen. The oxygenated blood returns to the heart from the lungs by way of the pulmonary veins and goes into the left auricle. Then the blood is pumped into the left ventricle. The left ventricle finally pumps oxygenated blood to all parts of the body through the aorta.

Q. Read the statements and select the option which best describes the process that occurs during systematic circulation.
(i) The left atrium receives the oxygenated blood through the pulmonary veins. The left ventricle pumps the blood through the aorta to various parts and the de-oxygenated blood reaches right atrium.
(ii) The left atrium receives the oxygenated blood through pulmonary veins and pumps the blood through the aorta to various parts and the de-oxygenated blood reaches the right atrium.
(iii) The left atrium receives de-oxygenated blood and pumps into left ventricles which in turn pumps into pulmonary artery for oxygenation.
(iv) The right atrium receives the de-oxygenated blood and pumps into pulmonary artery for oxygenation.
