Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What Does the Right Ventricle Do?
A
Pumps Oxygen-Poor Blood into the Lungs
B
Pumps Oxygen-Rich Blood into the Lungs
C
Pumps Fluid Out of 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 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.

Detailed explanation-3: -The right ventricle pumps the blood under low pressure through the pulmonary valve into the pulmonary artery. From there the blood goes to the lungs where it gets fresh oxygen (C).

Detailed explanation-4: -Oxygen-poor blood from the body enters your heart through two large veins called the superior and inferior vena cava. The blood enters the heart’s right atrium and is pumped to your right ventricle, which in turn pumps the blood to your lungs.

Detailed explanation-5: -The right ventricle pumps the oxygen-poor blood to the lungs through the pulmonary valve. The left atrium receives oxygen-rich blood from the lungs and pumps it to the left ventricle through the mitral valve. The left ventricle pumps the oxygen-rich blood through the aortic valve out to the rest of the body.
