The right side of the heart is responsible for supply blood to what?
A
cells of the body
B
the organs of the body
C
the lungs
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The right ventricle (RV) pumps oxygen-poor blood through the pulmonary valve (PV) into the main pulmonary artery (MPA). From there, the blood flows through the right and left pulmonary arteries into the lungs.

Detailed explanation-2: -The right coronary artery supplies blood to the right ventricle, the right atrium, and the SA (sinoatrial) and AV (atrioventricular) nodes, which regulate the heart rhythm.

Detailed explanation-3: -The right side of the heart receives blood that is low in oxygen because most has been used up by the brain and body. It pumps this to your lungs, where it picks up a fresh supply of oxygen. The blood then returns to the left side of the heart, ready to be pumped back out to the brain and the rest of your body.

Detailed explanation-4: -The right ventricle pumps the blood to the lungs where it becomes oxygenated. 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.

Detailed explanation-5: -The bronchial artery is the main source of blood supply for the bronchi. The bronchial arteries provide the normal systemic arterial supply to the lungs after birth and generally comprise one to three small arteries from the upper dorsal aorta or right intercostal artery supplying each lung (, 6), (, 10).
