Answer:

B. Right ventricle

Step-by-step explanation:

The great vessels of the heart include the superior and inferior vena cava, which bring blood from the body to the right atrium, the pulmonary artery, which transports blood from the right ventricle to the lungs.

ANSWER:

The correct option is B: Right Ventricle. The right ventricle is connected to the heart via the "pulmonary artery".

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The "right ventricle pumps" blood at low pressure through the "pulmonary valve" into the pulmonary artery.
  • The pulmonary artery then takes this blood to the lungs. This blood is de-oxygenated blood or blood that contains waste materials.
  • The blood in the lungs picks up oxygen and is then transported back to the blood vessels to be carried to the various body parts.
