Both. The right atrium receives deoxygenated blood from the veins of the body; the left atrium receives oxygenated blood from the pulmonary vein.

Does the atrium have depxgyenated blood?

No, the atrium does not have deoxygenated blood. The right atrium receives deoxygenated blood from the body through the superior and inferior vena cava.


Is the blood in the right atium oxygenated?

In right atrium there is deoxygenated blood only..


What chamber in a frog's heart contains both oxygenated and deoxygenated blood?

The right heart chambers (atrium and ventricle) contain deoxygenated blood. The left heart chambers contain oxygenated blood, since this blood has already been through the pulmonary system.


Does the superior vena cava empty oxygenated or deoxygenated blood into the right artrium?

No. The superior vena cava returns blood from the superior regions of the body to the right atrium. the coronary arteries supply the heart with oxygenated blood.


Where does the coronary circuit deliver deoxygenated blood to get oxygenated?

the right atrium via the coronary sinus


Does a frog heart pump oxygenated blood or deoxygenated?

The blood passing into the frogâ??s aortic arches is a mixture of both the deoxygenated blood from the right atrium and the oxygenated blood from the left atrium. This mixture contains enough oxygen to supply the needs of the rest of the body.


The superior vena cava empties what?

Yes, both the superior and inferior vena cava carry deoxygenated (oxygen-poor) blood and deposit it into the right atrium of the heart.


Does the right atrium in the body contain oxygenated or dexoygenated blood?

The right atrium receives deoxygenated blood, then the blood moves into the right ventricle. So both of them receive deoxygenated blood. Once the blood returns from the lungs it is oxygenated and comes into the heart through the pulmonary veins into the left atrium then to the left ventricle then out to the body.


What chambers receive oxygenated blood?

The right atrium gets deoxygenated blood from the body. It then goes to the right ventricle. So there are 2 chambers that get deoxygenated blood.


Do mammals have 2 atria?

Yes: the left atrium (receives oxygenated blood from the pulmonary vein) and the right atrium (receives deoxygenated blood from the venae cavae).


What is the receiving chambers of the heart?

Both of the atriums. the left atrium - receives oxygenated blood from the lungs the right atrium - receives deoxygenated blood from the superior vena cava


What are the vessels of the heart that carry oxygenated and deoxygenated blood?

The pulmonary vein brings in oxygenated blood from the lungs through the left atrium and ventricle up into the aorta which then carries the oxygenated blood through the body. The vena cava (main vein) on the right side carries deoxygenated blood through the right atrium through the right ventricle up into the pulmonary artery, which carries the deoxygenated blood to the lungs to get oxygenated again. The pulmonary artery is the only artery to carry deaoxygenated blood.
