which of the following statements regarding blood flow through the heart is not true? a) the relaxation phase is called diastole. b) the left atrium receives oxygenated blood from the lungs. c) the right ventricle receives blood from the right atrium. d) the left ventricle pumps blood to the lungs.



Answer :

According to the research, the correct answer is Option D. The statement "the left ventricle pumps blood to the lungs" is not true.

What is the heart?

It is the central organ of the circulatory system that is responsible for driving blood to the systemic and pulmonary circuits.

In this sense, the left ventricle only receives arterial blood (pulmonary veins, which flow into the atrium) and sends it through the ventricle to the aorta and, with it, to the whole body.

Therefore, we can conclude that according to the research, the heart through the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery sends it to the lungs for oxygenation.
