Where does blood from the right ventricle go immediately after leaving the heart?
A
Into the pulmonary artery
B
Into the aorta
C
Into the superior vena cava
D
Into the left atrium
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the function of the right ventricle: The right ventricle is responsible for pumping deoxygenated blood out of the heart to the lungs for oxygenation.
Identify the blood vessel connected to the right ventricle: The pulmonary artery is the vessel that carries deoxygenated blood from the right ventricle to the lungs.
Eliminate incorrect options: The aorta carries oxygenated blood from the left ventricle to the body, the superior vena cava brings deoxygenated blood from the body to the right atrium, and the left atrium receives oxygenated blood from the lungs.
Focus on the correct pathway: Blood flows from the right ventricle into the pulmonary artery, which splits into left and right branches to deliver blood to both lungs.
Confirm the answer: Based on the anatomy and function of the heart, the correct answer is 'Into the pulmonary artery.'
