Question

multiple choice question
the blood vessel that carries blood away from the left ventricle is the ______.

○ aorta
○ vena cava
○ pulmonary trunk
○ pulmonary vein

Explanation:

To solve this, we recall the circulatory system: The left ventricle pumps oxygenated blood into the aorta, which distributes it to the body. The vena cava brings deoxygenated blood to the right atrium. The pulmonary trunk carries blood from the right ventricle to the lungs. Pulmonary veins bring oxygenated blood to the left atrium. So the blood vessel carrying blood away from the left ventricle is the aorta.

Answer:

A. aorta
