The left ventricle pumps blood to the
A
lungs.
B
right ventricle.
C
right atrium.
D
aorta
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -The left ventricle pumps the blood to the aorta which will distribute the oxygenated blood to all parts of the body.

Detailed explanation-3: -The left atrium receives oxygen-rich blood from the lungs and pumps it through the mitral valve to the left ventricle. The left ventricle pumps the oxygen-rich blood through the aortic valve out to the rest of the body.

Detailed explanation-4: -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.

Detailed explanation-5: -When your left ventricle is full it squeezes, which closes your mitral valve and opens your aortic valve. Your heart sends blood through your aortic valve to your aorta, where it flows to the rest of your body.
