GROSS ANATOMY

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 generates the high pressure needed to pump the blood to your whole body through your blood vessels. When blood leaves the heart to go to the rest of the body, it travels through a large artery called the aorta. A balloon-like bulge, called an aortic aneurysm, can sometimes occur in the aorta.

Detailed explanation-3: -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. The left ventricle pumps the blood to the aorta which will distribute the oxygenated blood to all parts of the body.

Detailed explanation-4: -The left ventricle is the heart’s main pumping chamber. During left ventricular hypertrophy, the thickened heart wall can become stiff. Blood pressure in the heart increases. The changes make it harder for the heart to effectively pump blood.

Detailed explanation-5: -Pulmonary veins: Deliver oxygen-rich blood from the lungs to the left atrium of the heart. 9. Left atrium: Receives blood returning to the heart from the pulmonary veins.
