Question

multiple choice question
the ascending aorta is attached to which heart chamber?

left ventricle

left atrium

right ventricle

right atrium

Explanation:

To determine the heart chamber attached to the ascending aorta, we recall the anatomy of the heart. The left ventricle pumps oxygenated blood into the ascending aorta to distribute it throughout the body. The left atrium receives blood from the lungs, the right ventricle pumps blood to the lungs, and the right atrium receives deoxygenated blood from the body. So the ascending aorta is attached to the left ventricle.

Answer:

A. Left ventricle
