Deoxygenated blood first enters in _________ part in fishes?

Correct answer: A. Sinus venosus

  • A. Sinus venosus
  • B. Right atrium
  • C. Left atrium
  • D. Conus arteriosus

Explanation

In fish, blood returning from body tissues first enters the sinus venosus, which passes it to the atrium and then the ventricle. Fish have a single atrium rather than separate right and left atria, so students may incorrectly select right atrium by applying the mammalian heart plan.

About Human Heart

The human heart is a four chambered muscular pump that maintains double circulation through the pulmonary and systemic circuits. Questions cover atria, ventricles, valves, major blood vessels, the cardiac cycle, pressure changes, the conduction system and ECG, while distinguishing arteries and veins from the chambers that receive or eject blood.
