Solution

The correct option is B

Left atrium


The correct answer is B.

Explanation of correct option:

The human heart has four chambers in it. There are two upper chambers and two lower chambers. The upper chambers are called the Atrium and get blood whereas the lower chambers are called the Ventricle which pumps the blood to various body parts.

  • The left atrium is the heart chamber that gets blood from the lungs.
  • The blood rich in oxygen is received by the left atrium.
  • Blood moves from the left atrium to the ventricle.

Explanation of incorrect options:

Option A: Left ventricle is the lower left chamber of the heart that pumps the oxygen-rich blood to almost all the organ systems.

Option C: Right atrium receives the blood with low oxygen from the body and moves to the right ventricle.

Option D: Right ventricle pumps the blood with low oxygen to the lungs to get oxygen again.

The chamber of the heart that collects oxygenated blood from the lungs is the left atrium.
