Oxygen rich blood comes in to the left atrium via the pulmonary veins. The valve controlling the flow of oxygenated blood between the left atrium and left ventricle is called the mitral valve (or bicuspid valve).

Is the blood rich in oxygen or poor in oxygen when it enters the left ventricle?

Blood entering the left ventricle is rich in oxygen. In contrast, oxygen-poor blood enters the right ventricle.


What allows blood to leave left ventricle?

The aortic valve allows the blood to leave the left ventricle.


What is the function of the Mitral valve?

a passage way from the left atrium to the left ventricle.It prevents back flow of blood from the left ventricle to the left atrium.prevents backflow of blood from the left ventricle into the left atrium.


How does blood in the artery leaving the right ventricle differ from the blood in the artery leaving the left ventricle to where does the artery leaving the right ventricle carry blood?

The blood leaving the left ventricle is oxygen-rich and the blood coming out of the right ventricle is oxygen-poor. It then goes through the pulmonary arteries and into the capillaries of the lung where the carbon dioxide is exchanged for oxygen.


Is Blood pumped by right ventricle oxygen-rich or oxygen-poor?

Yes, the right ventricle transports oxygenated blood to the lungs.


What type of blood does the right ventricle pump?

The right ventricle pumps deoxygenated blood to the lungs.


Does the right ventricle have oxygen-poor blood?

poor


Blood pumped by the left ventricle?

rich oxygen


Does the left ventricle contain oxygen rich blood?

Yes, the left ventricle receives oxygen-rich blood from the lungs and pumps it to the rest of the body via the aorta.


When blood enters the left ventricle is the blood high in oxygen or low in oxygen?

Oxygen goes from the muscles to the right atrium, from there it goes to the right ventricle and into the lungs then it passes from the lungs to through the left atrium and into the left ventricle where it is recirculated through the body.


What allows the blood to leave the left ventricle?

The aortic valve allows the blood to leave the left ventricle.


Is the right ventricle high in oxygen?

No. It pumps deoxygenated blood into the pulmonary vein to get oxygenated. The LEFT ventricle is the oxygen rich one.
