Explanation

Heart is divided into two halves: the right and left sides of the heart. The right side of the heart pumps deoxygenated blood to the lungs whereas the left side of the heart pumps oxygenated blood to the body. The right atrium pumps blood to right ventricle and the right ventricle pumps blood into the pulmonary artery. The pulmonary artery carries this deoxygenated blood to the lungs where it takes up oxygen and eliminates carbon dioxide.
