What part of the heart is responsible for pumping oxygen-rich blood to the rest of your body such as your arms and legs?

Answer
A
right ventricle
B
left atrium
C
right atrium
D
left ventricle

Explanation

The left ventricle pumps oxygen-rich blood out through the aorta, which carries it to the body, including the arms and legs. The right ventricle instead sends blood to the lungs, while the atria receive blood returning to the heart. Therefore, the correct choice is the left ventricle.
