left ventricle

Detailed explanation-1: -Blood enters the right atrium and passes through the right ventricle. 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-2: -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-3: -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-4: -Your mitral valve opens to send blood from your left atrium to your left ventricle. 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.
