What vessels carry O2 rich blood from the lungs to the left atrium?

What three vessels carry CO2 to the right atrium?
They both act as temporary storage chambers so that blood will be readily available for ventricular filling.

O2 rich blood enters the left atrium from the four pulmonary veins.

Oxygen depleted blood (CO2) enters the right atrium from the IVC, SVC, and Coronary Sinus.

Mean is the average, so the answer is 2

Right
Which cardiac valve is the first to open and the last to close n ventricular systole?
Pulmonic Valve
