When the Left Ventricle in the human heart contracts, the blood moves to the_________ ?
Correct answer: C. Aorta
- A. Brain
- B. Pulmonary Artery
- C. Aorta
- D. Lungs
Explanation
The left ventricle pumps oxygenated blood into the aorta, which distributes it through the systemic circulation to the body. The pulmonary artery leaves the right ventricle and carries deoxygenated blood to the lungs. Students may choose the brain because it receives blood from the aorta, but the ventricle first ejects blood into the aorta.

About Human Heart
The human heart is a four chambered muscular pump that maintains double circulation through the pulmonary and systemic circuits. Questions cover atria, ventricles, valves, major blood vessels, the cardiac cycle, pressure changes, the conduction system and ECG, while distinguishing arteries and veins from the chambers that receive or eject blood.
