Does the left side of the heart pump oxygenated blood?

Answer 1

The left side of the heart (the left ventricle) pumps blood through aorta into systemic arteries.

The right ventricle is the one in charge of pumping the venous blood into the lungs, where blood gets oxygenated and can then go to left ventricle to be pumped through systemic arteries.

However, the left ventricle does also pump some blood into the lungs: aorta gives off branches (bronchial arteries) that go into lungs and supply oxygen to the cells of lung tissue.

To summarize, lungs get blood from both sides of the heart. From the left ventricle, they get the blood that feeds them, and from the right ventricle they get the blood which they have to fill with oxygen.

Answer 2

yes, its the pulmonary circuit. blood moves from the right ventricle, through the pulmonary valve, through the pulmonary arteries, to the lungs, out of lungs through pulmonary veins, into the left atrium, through the mitral valve(bicuspid which then starts the systemic system) into the left ventricle, through the aortic valve, through the aorta, through the body's arteries, through the body's vein's, through the superior and inferior vena cava, into the right atrium, through the tricuspid valve, into the right ventricle, where it all starts again.

Answer 3

Your right ventricle pumps blood to the lungs.

Answer 4

Yes. You are correct. Right side of the heart sends blood to your lungs. Left side of heart sends blood to rest of your body.

Answer 5

Yes and then the L side of the heart pumps the blood to the rest of the body

Answer 6

The left side of the heart receives oxygenated blood from the lungs.

Answer 7

to the lungs to be oxygenated just like where the right side of the heart send to. . .

Answer 8

The left side of the heart, or left ventricle, pumps blood through the aorta to the rest of the body. (The right side, or right ventricle, pumps blood to the lungs, via the pulmonary artery.)

Answer 9

Yes.
