Aorta

Pulmonary artery

Detailed explanation-1: -The oxygenated blood is brought back to the heart by the pulmonary veins which enter the left atrium. From the left atrium blood flows into the left ventricle. The left ventricle pumps the blood to the aorta which will distribute the oxygenated blood to all parts of the body.
Detailed explanation-2: -The aorta is the body’s largest artery. It carries oxygen-rich blood from the left ventricle to the rest of the body.
Detailed explanation-3: -The left ventricle (LV) pumps the oxygen-rich blood through the aortic valve (AoV) into the aorta (Ao), the main artery that takes oxygen-rich blood out to the rest of the body.
Detailed explanation-4: -The aorta is the main artery that carries blood away from your heart to the rest of your body. The blood leaves the heart through the aortic valve. Then it travels through the aorta, making a cane-shaped curve that allows other major arteries to deliver oxygen-rich blood to the brain, muscles and other cells.
Detailed explanation-5: -The left ventricle pumps the red oxygen-rich blood out through the aortic valve into the aorta (E). The aorta takes blood to the body’s general circulation. The blood pressure in the left ventricle is the same as the pressure measured in the arm.
