Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Blood traveling through the systemic circuit goes through the ____ side of the heart and out to the body
A
right
B
left
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Blood comes into the right atrium from the body, moves into the right ventricle and is pushed into the pulmonary arteries in the lungs. After picking up oxygen, the blood travels back to the heart through the pulmonary veins into the left atrium, to the left ventricle and out to the body’s tissues through the aorta.

Detailed explanation-2: -In the systemic circulation, blood travels out of the left ventricle, to the aorta, to every organ and tissue in the body, and then back to the right atrium. The arteries, capillaries, and veins of the systemic circulatory system are the channels through which this long journey takes place.

Detailed explanation-3: -Systemic Circuit Systemic circulation carries oxygenated blood from the left ventricle, through the arteries, to the capillaries in the tissues of the body. From the tissue capillaries, the deoxygenated blood returns through a system of veins to the right atrium of the heart.

Detailed explanation-4: -Blood leaves the heart through the pulmonic valve into the pulmonary artery and flows to the lungs. The pulmonary vein carries oxygen-rich blood from the lungs into the left atrium. Blood flows from the left atrium into the left ventricle through the open mitral valve.

Detailed explanation-5: -In systemic circulation: Next, blood that returns to the heart has picked up lots of oxygen from the lungs. So it can now go out to the body. The aorta is a big artery that leaves the heart carrying this oxygenated blood.
