Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which organ is first to receive oxygenated blood from the aorta?
A
lungs
B
heart
C
stomach
D
brain
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Blood enters the right atrium and passes through the right ventricle. The right ventricle pumps the blood to the lungs where it becomes oxygenated. The oxygenated blood is brought back to the heart by the pulmonary veins which enter the left atrium.

Detailed explanation-2: -Blood first enters the heart’s right atrium. A muscle contraction forces the blood through the tricuspid valve into the right ventricle.

Detailed explanation-3: -The pulmonary artery carries oxygen-poor blood from the right ventricle into the lungs, where oxygen enters the bloodstream. The pulmonary veins bring oxygen-rich blood to the left atrium. The aorta carries oxygen-rich blood to the body from the left ventricle.

Detailed explanation-4: -Your coronary arteries supply blood to your heart. 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.
