- D.
Re-enters the heart through the pulmonary veins to left atrium to bicuspid valve to left ventricle to arteries to aorta
Correct Answer
A. Re-enters the heart through the pulmonary veins to left atrium to bicuspid valve to left ventricle to aorta to arteriesExplanation
Oxygenated blood re-enters the heart through the pulmonary veins, specifically into the left atrium. From there, it passes through the bicuspid valve (also known as the mitral valve) into the left ventricle. The blood is then pumped out of the left ventricle into the aorta, which is the main artery of the body. From the aorta, the oxygenated blood is distributed to the various arteries throughout the body. Therefore, the correct order of oxygenated blood is: Re-enters the heart through the pulmonary veins to left atrium to bicuspid valve to left ventricle to aorta to arteries.Rate this question:
