What chamber pumps blood to the aorta?
A
Left atrium
B
left ventricle
C
right atrium
D
right ventricle
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: -Aortic valve connects your left ventricle and aorta (large artery that carries blood throughout your body). Mitral valve connects your left atrium and left ventricle.

Detailed explanation-3: -The heart pumps blood through the mitral valve into the left ventricle. From the left ventricle, the blood flows through the aortic valve to the rest of your body.

Detailed explanation-4: -There are four chambers: the left atrium and right atrium (upper chambers), and the left ventricle and right ventricle (lower chambers). The right side of your heart collects blood on its return from the rest of your body.
