The left ventricle pumps the blood to the aorta which will distribute the oxygenated blood to all parts of the body.

Detailed explanation-2: -The right side pumps deoxygenated blood (low in oxygen and high in carbon dioxide) to the lungs. The left side pumps oxygenated blood (high in oxygen and low in carbon dioxide) to the organs of the body.

Detailed explanation-3: -Therefore, the left side of the heart contains oxygenated blood.
