Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The ____ pumps oxygen-rich blood out of the heart to the rest of the body.
A
right ventricle
B
left ventricle
C
right atrium
D
left atrium
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Oxygen-rich blood then flows through the mitral valve (MV) into the left ventricle (LV), or the left lower chamber. 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: -This is the muscular pump that sends blood out to the rest of the body. When the left ventricle contracts, it forces blood through the aortic semilunar valve and into the aorta. The aorta and its branches carries the blood to all the body’s tissues.

Detailed explanation-3: -Your heart pumps blood around the body all the time-about 5 litres (8 pints) of it. This is called circulation. Your heart, blood and blood vessels together make up your cardiovascular system (or heart and circulatory system).
