Question

When the left ventricle contracts, blood flows to the _____.

aorta
lungs
left atrium
right atrium

Answer 1

Aorta

When the left ventricle contracts, the mitral valve closes and the aortic valve opens. This is so blood flows into the aorta and out to the rest of the body. While the left ventricle is relaxing, the right ventricle also relaxes. This causes the pulmonary valve to close and the tricuspid valve to open.

Answer 2

aorta

Step-by-step explanation:

The aorta and its branches carries the blood to all the body's tissues.
