Question 4 • 24 - 25 CR - Biology B (0411KB)

Which statement best describes the difference between atria and ventricles?

Answer
A
Atria push blood from the veins to the ventricles, and ventricles push blood from the atria to the arteries.
B
Atria push blood from the ventricles to the arteries, and ventricles push blood from the veins to the atria.
C
Atria are on the bottom of the heart, and ventricles are on the upper part of the heart.
D
Atria receive oxygenated blood, and ventricles receive deoxygenated blood.

Explanation

The atria are the heart’s upper chambers: they receive blood returning through veins and move it into the ventricles. The ventricles then pump blood out of the heart into arteries. So the statement that atria move blood from veins to ventricles and ventricles move it from atria to arteries is correct.
