Which chamber of the heart receives blood from the right pulmonary artery?

Understand the Problem

The question is asking which chamber of the heart receives blood from the right pulmonary artery, indicating a focus on the functionality and structure of the heart.

Answer

No chamber receives blood from the right pulmonary artery; right ventricle pumps blood to it.

The right ventricle is the chamber that pumps blood into the pulmonary arteries, but no chamber receives blood directly from the right pulmonary artery. Blood returns from the lungs to the left atrium via the pulmonary veins.

Confusing the directions of blood flow between chambers and arteries or veins is a common mistake.
