Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The right side of the heart, which includes the right atrium and the right ventricle receive blood from the body and sends it to the lungs, or pulmonary circuit, to pick up oxygen. The oxygenated blood returns to the heart at the left side, specifically the left atrium, and then the left ventricle. The left ventricle then ejects blood to the body (which we refer to as the systemic circuit).
You may use the diagram below as a visual reference for the structure of the heart.
