multiple choice question
the inferior vena cava is attached to which heart chamber?
○ left atrium
○ left ventricle
○ right atrium
○ right ventricle
To determine the heart chamber attached to the inferior vena cava, we recall the anatomy of the heart: the inferior vena cava (and superior vena cava) carry deoxygenated blood into the right atrium. The left atrium receives blood from the pulmonary veins, the left ventricle pumps blood to the body, and the right ventricle pumps blood to the lungs. So the inferior vena cava is attached to the right atrium.
