Question

which path describes the movement of oxygenated blood leaving the heart

Answer 1

The oxygenated blood then leaves the lungs through pulmonary veins, which return it to the left heart, completing the pulmonary cycle. This blood then enters the left atrium, which pumps it through the mitral valve into the left ventricle. From the leftventricle, the blood passes through the aortic valve to the aorta.
