CCI Certified Cardiographic Technician (CCT) Practice Exam

Which heart chamber receives blood from the pulmonary veins?

Right atrium Right ventricle Left atrium Aorta

Correct Answer:

Left atrium

Explanation:

Pulmonary veins deliver oxygen-rich blood from the lungs to the heart, and the chamber that receives this blood is the left atrium. From the left atrium, blood passes through the mitral valve into the left ventricle to be pumped to the body. (Note the exception that pulmonary veins carry oxygenated blood, unlike most veins.)
