Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]

Freshly oxygenated blood is delivered to the ____ and then it passes into the ____ to be pumped to the entire body.

A	right ventricle; right atrium
B	left ventricle; left atrium
C	left atrium; left ventricle
D	right atrium; right ventricle

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Systemic circulation carries oxygenated blood from the left ventricle, through the arteries, to the capillaries in the tissues of the body. From the tissue capillaries, the deoxygenated blood returns through a system of veins to the right atrium of the heart.

Detailed explanation-3: -Arteries. Oxygenated blood is pumped from the heart along arteries, which are muscular. Arteries divide like tree branches until they are slender. The largest artery is the aorta, which connects to the heart and picks up oxygenated blood from the left ventricle.
