Question

PATH= -from heart, *continuing from pulmonary circuit*-(oxy bld) LFT ATRIUM goes to LFT V, pumped into AORTA -goes throughout entire body pumping O2 rich blood- comes back to heart in the RightAtrium

A) Left Atrium to Right Ventricle, then to the Aorta
B) Left Atrium to Left Ventricle, then to the Aorta
C) Right Atrium to Right Ventricle, then to the Aorta
D) Right Atrium to Left Ventricle, then to the Aorta

Answer 1

Blood from the left atrium goes to the left ventricle and is then pumped into the aorta, making the correct answer B) Left Atrium to Left Ventricle, then to the Aorta.

Step-by-step explanation:

The path that blood takes from the heart through the body and back again can be described in the following sequence: the left atrium receives oxygen-rich blood from the lungs via the pulmonary veins. This oxygenated blood then flows to the left ventricle, which pumps it into the aorta to be distributed throughout the body. After delivering oxygen to the body's tissues and picking up carbon dioxide, the now oxygen-poor blood returns to the heart's right atrium via the superior and inferior venae cavae. Therefore, the correct answer to the question is B) Left Atrium to Left Ventricle, then to the Aorta.
