- Is blood entering the left ventricle high or low in oxygen?
blood entering the left ventricle is high in oxygen because it has come from the left atrium, which receives oxygenated blood

- Where does blood flow after leaving the right atrium?
blood flows into the right ventricle from the right atrium
