The Ventricle of the Heart That Ejects Blood Toward the Lungs

Question

The ventricle of the heart that ejects blood toward the lungs is the:
A)right atrium.
B)right ventricle.
C)left atrium.
D)left ventricle.

Accepted Answer

The right ventricle is responsible for pumping deoxygenated blood to the lungs for oxygenation. The right atrium receives the deoxygenated blood from the body, but it does not eject blood towards the lungs. The left atrium receives oxygenated blood from the lungs, and the left ventricle ejects this blood into the aorta to supply oxygen to the rest of the body.
