What path does a drop of blood follow from entering the heart to leaving the heart through the aorta?

From the vena cava, blood travels into the right atrium, then the right ventricle. The right ventricle pumps the blood through the pulmonary arteries to the lungs. The pulmonary vein carries the oxygenated blood back to the left atrium. The blood flows from the left atrium into the left ventricle which pumps the blood through the aorta and to the rest of the body.

Area where the great vessels leave the heart?
Four main blood vessels enter/exit the heart: two veins and two arteries. Oxygenated blood enters the left ventricle through the pulmonary vein. This same blood is then pumped out of the left atrium via the aorta. Meanwhile, de-oxygenated blood enters the heart in the vena cava; before leaving through the pulmonary artery.
