The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Right Atrium**: The right atrium is one of the four chambers of the heart. It plays a crucial role in the circulatory system by receiving deoxygenated blood from the body. 2. **Identifying Blood Sources**: The right atrium receives blood from two major veins: - **Superior Vena Cava (SVC)**: This vein carries deoxygenated blood from the upper parts of the body, such as the head, neck, and arms. - **Inferior Vena Cava (IVC)**: This vein carries deoxygenated blood from the lower parts of the body, including the legs and abdomen. 3. **Function of the Right Atrium**: Once the right atrium receives blood from the SVC and IVC, it then pumps this deoxygenated blood into the right ventricle. 4. **Pathway of Blood**: From the right ventricle, the blood is then sent to the lungs via the pulmonary artery for oxygenation. 5. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the right atrium receives blood specifically from the superior vena cava and the inferior vena cava. ### Final Answer: The right atrium receives blood from the **superior vena cava** and **inferior vena cava**. ---
