Solution
The correct option is D Vena Cava
The deoxygenated blood from the body is received in the right atrium from the vena cava and enters the right ventricle through a tricuspid valve. It enters the pulmonary artery through the semilunar valve and goes to pulmonary circulation.
The oxygenated blood from the lungs is received in the left atrium from the pulmonary veins and enters the left ventricle through the bicuspid valve. It enters the aorta through a semilunar valve and goes to the systemic circulation.
