blood leaves the left ventricle through an artery known as the ____
A
aorta
B
superior vena cava
C
pulmonary artery
D
pulmonary trunk
Explanation: 

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: -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.

Detailed explanation-3: -Supplying oxygen to the heart’s muscle 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-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. Watch animations on blood flow and your heart valves.

Detailed explanation-5: -The aorta is the main artery that carries blood away from your heart to the rest of your body. The blood leaves the heart through the aortic valve. Then it travels through the aorta, making a cane-shaped curve that allows other major arteries to deliver oxygen-rich blood to the brain, muscles and other cells.
