Which of these does not contain oxygenated blood?

48% Answer Correctly

	pulmonary vein
	right atrium
	aorta
	left ventricle

Solution

To provide oxygen to the body, blood flows through the heart in a path formed by the right atrium → right ventricle → lungs → left atrium → left ventricle → body. When blood enters the right side of the heart it is deoxygenated. It enters the left side of the heart oxygenated after traveling to the lungs.
