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 right ventricle pumps the oxygen-poor blood through the pulmonary valve to the lungs. The left atrium receives oxygen-rich blood from the lungs and pumps it through the mitral valve to the left ventricle. The left ventricle pumps the oxygen-rich blood through the aortic valve out to the rest of the body.
Detailed explanation-3: -The left ventricle pumps the red oxygen-rich blood out through the aortic valve into the aorta (E). The aorta takes blood to the body’s general circulation. The blood pressure in the left ventricle is the same as the pressure measured in the arm.
