Q. Which of the following statement(s) wrong with regard to heart?
A. Left atrium receives deoxygenated blood from different parts of the body while right atrium receives deoxygenated blood from the lungs.
B. Right atrium receives deoxygenated blood from different body parts while right ventricle pumps deoxygenated blood to the lungs.
C. Left atrium receives oxygenated blood from lungs while left ventricle pumps oxygenated blood to different parts of the body.
D. Pulmonary vein carries deoxygenated blood to the lungs and pulmonary artery brings oxygenated blood towards the heart.

arteries carry oxygenated blood and veins carry dexygenated blood but when blood is transported through the body the pulmonary artery carries deoxygenated blood to the lungs and the pulmonary vein carries oxygenated blood from the auricle to the left ventricle. why does this hapen?
