Figure shows schematic plan of blood circulation in human with labels $A$ to D. Identify the label and give its function/s


- AA-pulmonary vein-takes impure blood from body parts, $\mathrm{pO}_2=60 \mathrm{mmHg}$
- BB-pulmonary artery-takes blood from heart to lungs, $\mathrm{pO}_2=90 \mathrm{mmHg}$
- Correct answerCC-vena cava-takes blood from body parts to right auricle, $\mathrm{pCO}_2=45 \mathrm{mmHg}$
- DD-dorsal aorta-takes blood from heart to body parts, $\mathrm{pO}_2=95 \mathrm{mmHg}$
Solution
A-Pulmonary vein takes impure blood from body parts, $\mathrm{pO}_2=60 \mathrm{mmHg}$.
B-Pulmonary artery-takes blood from heart to lungs, $\mathrm{pO}_2=90 \mathrm{mmHg}$.
$\mathrm{C}-$ Vena cava-takes blood from body parts to right auricle, $\mathrm{pCO}_2=45 \mathrm{mmHg}$
D-Dorsal aorta-takes blood from heart to body parts, $\mathrm{pO}_2=95 \mathrm{mmHg}$.
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
