Aotra
Aotra
The left ventricle pumps blood into the aorta through the aortic semi-lunar valve.
Blood goes from the left atrium into the left ventricle, which then pumps the blood through the aotra to the lungs, where it is oxygenated. The blood then circulates back into the heart through the right atrium, which pumps the blood to the right ventricle. The right ventricle then pumps the blood out to the rest of the body.
During ventricular systole both ventricles contract, forcing the blood out of them and into another vessel. The left ventricle is the one that provides blood to the rest of the body. As it contracts, the high pressure causes the aortic semilunar valve to open, and blood travels through it to the aorta.
