Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which structure pumps blood into the aorta?
A
right ventricle
B
left ventricle
C
right atrium
D
left atrium
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: -These arteries branch off from the aorta so that oxygen-rich blood is delivered to your heart as well as the rest of your body. The left coronary artery delivers blood to the left side of your heart, including your left atrium and ventricle and the septum between the ventricles.

Detailed explanation-3: -The aorta carries oxygenated blood from the left ventricle (one of your heart’s four chambers) to the rest of your body. The ascending aorta is the first part closest to your heart. This portion has two small branches.

Detailed explanation-4: -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.
