The Left Ventricle Pumps ________ Blood Through the ________ Valve

Question

The left ventricle pumps ________ blood through the ________ valve.
A)deoxygenated; pulmonary
B)oxygenated; aortic
C)oxygenated; pulmonary
D)deoxygenated; aortic

Accepted Answer

The left ventricle pumps oxygenated blood through the aortic valve, which then leads to the aorta and distributes the oxygenated blood to the rest of the body. The term "pulmonary" typically refers to the lungs, which are associated with the right side of the heart and the pulmonary valve, which pumps deoxygenated blood to the lungs.
