Blood is pumped out the left ventricles through the Pulmonary artery into the Pulmonary valve, then into the lungs.
C
None of the above
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The blood enters the heart’s right atrium and is pumped to your right ventricle, which in turn pumps the blood to your lungs. The pulmonary artery then carries the oxygen-poor blood from your heart to the lungs.

Detailed explanation-2: -When the right ventricle contracts, blood is forced through the pulmonary semilunar valve into the pulmonary artery. Then it travels to the lungs. In the lungs, the blood receives oxygen then leaves through the pulmonary veins. It returns to the heart and enters the left atrium.
