The left ventricle pumps oxygen rich blood out of the heart through the aortic valve. The heart works as a pump with an average of 72 beats per minute in healthy adults.

What pumps oxygen-rich blood to the body?
I think you meant "through the body". if that is so: the heart does, it pumps oxygen poor blood to your lungs. then the blood absorbs the oxygen with the help of diffusion. this is like smoke: smoke doesn't stay together, it goes to places where no smoke is. the same counts for your blood, there is no oxygen in it so the oxygen goes into your veins. then the heart pumps it around the body until the oxygen is used up. the process will start over again.Your heart.
Is the pulmonary trunk oxygen rich or oxygen poor?
Oxygen poor. It carries oxygen poor blood from the right ventricle of the heart to the lungs to be oxygenated.
What is the carrier of food nutrients and oxygen?
blood vessels. they are the pathways or tubes in the body through which blood flows. the blood vessel are of three kinds. these are the arteries, veins, and capillaries. the arteries carry blood away from the heart. the veins bring blood back to the heart. capillaries carry blood rich in oxygen to the tissue, and carry away waste products
Where do gases exchange?
The pathway of the circulatory system varies based on different species. The mammalian cardiovascular system begins with the pulmonary circuit. The right ventricle pumps blood to the lungs via the pulmonary arteries. As the blood flows through capillary beds in the lungs, it adds oxygen and subtracts carbon dioxide. Oxygen-rich blood comes from the lungs via the pulmonary veins to the left atrium of the heart. Next the oxygen-rich blood flows into the left ventricle as the ventricle opens and the atrium closes. The left ventricle pumps the oxygen-rich blood out of the body tissues through the systemic circuit. Blood leaves the left ventricle through the aorta, which passes blood to arteries leading throughout the body. The first branches from the aorta are the coronary arteries which provide blood that the heart muscle needs. Then come branches leading to capillary beds in the forelimbs. The aorta continues, supplying oxygen-rich blood to arteries leading to arterioles and capillary beds in the abdominal organs and legs. Inside the capillaries, oxygen and carbon dioxide diffuse along their concentration gradients with oxygen being moved from the blood to the tissues. Carbon dioxide produced by cellular respiration diffuses into the bloodstream. Capillaries join again, forming venules, which give blood to veins. Oxygen-poor blood from the head, neck, and forelimbs is guided into a large vein called the anterior vena cava. Another large vein called the posterior vena cava drains blood from the chest and back legs. The two venae cavae empty their blood into the right atrium and the oxygen-poor blood flows into the right ventricle.
What is oxygen rich?
"Oxygen rich" means lots of oxygen. If the air in a room is "oxygen rich" things will burn better. "Oxygen poor" means there isn't much and "oxygen starved" means there is none or almost none.
Does the heart pump out only oxygen-rich blood?
No. The heart pumps oxygen-poor blood to the lungs, and pumps oxgyen-rich blood to the body.
Which side of the heart pumps oxygen rich blood to the body !?
The left ventricle pumps blood to the body. It is rich in oxygen.
What pumps oxygen-rich blood out of the heart?
The heart muscles.
Which pumps oxygen-rich bloodartery or veins?
Heart pumps O2 rich blood to body through artries.
The left side of the heart pumps oxygen-rich blood to the?
head and body =)
How does the heart give the body oxgyen?
The heart pumps oxygen rich blood around the body.
What is the correct order of the following - 'a' oxygen rich blood arrives at capillaries - 'b' oxygen enters body cells - 'c' heart pumps oxygen rich blood - 'd' oxygen moves through capillary walls?
'c' heart pumps oxygen rich blood, 'a' oxygen rich blood arrives at capillaries, 'd' oxygen moves through capillary walls, 'b' oxygen enters body cells.
In what sense is the heart a double pump?
The right side of the heart receives oxygen-poor blood from the body and pumps it to your lungs. The left side receives oxygen-rich blood and from the lungs and pumps it into the body.
what sides of the heart receives oxygenated blood?
The left side of the heart receives blood from the lungs which is rich in oxygen. The heart then pumps throughout the body.
What type of blood is pumped on the left side of the heart?
The left side of the heart receives the oxygen-rich blood from the lungs and pumps it to the body.
What is the left side of the heart's job?
Your left ventricle pumps oxygen rich blood throughout the body while the left atrium receives the oxygen rich blood from the lungs.
Why do you think it is important that the heart pumps oxygen rich blood to the body?
because the body needs oxygen, which is received from the heart to perform all activities
