The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding how blood passes from the postcaval to the diastolic right atrium of the heart in humans, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Structures Involved**: - The right atrium (or right auricle) is the chamber of the heart that receives deoxygenated blood. - The postcaval vein (inferior vena cava) is one of the major veins that brings deoxygenated blood from the lower parts of the body to the right atrium. 2. **Identifying the Source of Blood**: - The right atrium receives blood from two main veins: - The **superior vena cava**, which carries blood from the upper body (head, neck, arms). - The **inferior vena cava** (postcaval), which carries blood from the lower body (legs, abdomen). 3. **Understanding the Function of the Right Atrium**: - The right atrium collects deoxygenated blood from both the superior and inferior vena cava. 4. **Understanding the Pressure Dynamics**: - Blood flow is influenced by pressure differences. Blood moves from areas of higher pressure to areas of lower pressure. - When the right atrium is in a diastolic state (relaxed), it has lower pressure compared to the pressure in the inferior vena cava. 5. **Conclusion**: - The blood passes from the postcaval (inferior vena cava) to the diastolic right atrium due to the **pressure difference** between the two. Blood flows from the higher pressure in the inferior vena cava to the lower pressure in the right atrium. ### Final Answer: Blood passes from the postcaval to the diastolic right atrium of the heart due to the pressure difference between the postcaval and the atrium. ---
