Which of the following statements about the circulation of blood is not correct?
Answer Details
The statement that is not correct is: "The oxygenated blood enters the lungs through the pulmonary vein." In fact, the pulmonary vein carries oxygenated blood from the lungs to the left atrium of the heart, not the other way around. The right ventricle pumps deoxygenated blood to the lungs through the pulmonary artery, where it is oxygenated, and then returned to the left atrium via the pulmonary veins.
