Oxygenated blood is pushed into the aorta by
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: -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 volume of blood that the heart pumps from the left ventricle to the entire body each minute via the aorta is called the cardiac output.

Detailed explanation-4: -The largest artery is the aorta, which connects to the heart and picks up oxygenated blood from the left ventricle. The only artery that picks up deoxygenated blood is the pulmonary artery, which runs between the heart and lungs.
