The _______ Pumps Blood into the Aorta

Question

The _______ pumps blood into the aorta.
A)right atrium
B)left ventricle
C)right ventricle
D)left atrium

Accepted Answer

The left ventricle is responsible for pumping oxygenated blood into the aorta, which then delivers it to the rest of the body. The right atrium receives deoxygenated blood from the body and sends it to the right ventricle, which then pumps it to the lungs for oxygenation. The left atrium receives oxygenated blood from the lungs and sends it to the left ventricle for distribution to the body. Therefore, the left ventricle is the only chamber that pumps blood directly into the aorta.
