Which of the following heart chambers is correctly associated with the blood vessel that enters or leaves it?
Brrunno [24]

Answer:

The correct answer is C.

Explanation:

Blood enters the heart through the superior vena cava and the inferior vena cava into the right atrium. When the right atrium contracts, this poor oxygen blood flows to the right ventricle through the tricuspid valve. The valve then closes and the right ventricle contracts ejecting blood through the pulmonary trunk and pulmonary arteries to the lungs to be oxygenated.

Pulmonary veins carry oxygen-rich blood from the lungs into the left atrium. Then the atrium contracts and blood flows from your left atrium into your left ventricle through the mitral valve. The valve then closes, the left ventricle contracts and blood leaves the heart through the aortic valve, into the aorta and to the body.

Biological liquid waste that has been chemically or autoclave-decontaminated can be dumped down the drain (sanitary sewer) while it is running. Blood and bodily fluids from either humans or animals can be flushed down the toilet without first being cleaned.

  • Devices or things with corners, edges, or projections capable of cutting or piercing skin or everyday garbage bags are collected in commercial red biohazardous sharps containers after coming into touch with biological or recombinant genetic materials.
  • Waste that might be infected with pathogens that are dangerous to people and the environment is disposed of in biohazard containers.
  • After being autoclaved, biohazardous material can be thrown out with regular trash. Put the autoclave bag inside a typical container.
