The _______ Pump Blood into the Great Arteries Leaving the Heart

Question

The _______ pump blood into the great arteries leaving the heart.
A) atria
B) aortas
C) ventricles
D) veins

Accepted Answer

The ventricles are the two lower chambers of the heart and are responsible for pumping blood out of the heart and into the circulation. The left ventricle pumps oxygenated blood into the aorta, which is the largest artery in the body and carries blood to the rest of the body, while the right ventricle pumps deoxygenated blood into the pulmonary artery, which carries blood to the lungs to be oxygenated.
