Transcript

00:01 Question, we are given certain statements about blood circulation in the heart and we need to write the name of correct veins and arteries which supply the blood.

00:09 So firstly, we are given a vein that carries oxygen poor venous blood, oxygen poor blood from above the diaphragm areas, areas above diaphragm and also from the areas of our upper body and from the areas of our upper body it carries oxygen poor blood into the right atrium.

00:40 Now if we consider the circulation of blood in our heart we know that our heart consists of four chambers and this one is our right atrium and the right atrium will receive deoxygenated blood from the vena cava.

00:57 The vena cava is the largest vein in our body and it carries oxygen -poor blood into our right atrium.

01:04 Now, there are two types of vena cava.

01:07 Vena cava is of two types.

01:10 First one is the superior vena cava and then we have the inferior vena cava.

01:16 So the superior vena cava is the vein which carries all the oxygen -poor blood from the regions of our upper body.

01:27 From all the regions of our upper body like our hands, our chest, our head, all the oxygen -poor blood from these areas is carried by the superior vena cava and the inferior vena cava will carry the deoxygenated or oxygen -poor blood from all the parts of our lower body like our legs etc.

01:46 So here we are given a vein which will carry oxygen -poor blood from upper body regions.

01:53 So this one would be the superior vena cava...
