Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Oxygenated blood is pumped from the left ventricle to the rest of the body via ____
A
the pulmonary vein
B
the pulmonary artery
C
the vena cava
D
the aorta
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: -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-3: -The right ventricle pumps the low-oxygen blood to the lungs to pick up a fresh supply of oxygen. The left atrium receives to high-oxygen blood from the lungs and pumps it to the left ventricle. The left ventricle pumps the high-oxygen blood to the rest of the body.

Detailed explanation-4: -Oxygenated blood leaves the lung via the pulmonary vein. Blood enters the left atrium. Blood moves into the left ventricle. Blood is pumped into the aorta, which carries oxygenated blood around the body.

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
