Question

lo 3.7 - 3.8. systemic arteries transport oxygenated blood from the left ventricle of the heart to the __________. left atrium right atrium lungs only upper body only rest of the body

Explanation:

Systemic circulation is the part of the cardiovascular system which transports oxygenated blood away from the heart to the body, and returns deoxygenated blood back to the heart. The left ventricle pumps oxygenated blood into the systemic arteries, which then distribute it to all tissues and organs of the body (except the lungs, which have their own pulmonary circulation). The left atrium receives oxygenated blood from the lungs, and the right atrium receives deoxygenated blood from the body. The option "lungs only" is for pulmonary arteries (which carry deoxygenated blood from the right ventricle to the lungs in pulmonary circulation). "Upper body only" is incorrect as systemic arteries supply the whole body (not just upper).

Answer:

Rest of the body
