Which chamber of the heart pumps oxygenated blood to the body?

The left ventricle is responsible for pumping oxygenated blood to the body. It receives blood from the left atrium, which has collected the oxygen-rich blood from the lungs. The left ventricle then contracts with significant force to propel this oxygenated blood through the aorta, the largest artery in the body, ensuring that all body tissues receive the oxygen and nutrients they need for proper functioning.

This chamber has a thicker muscular wall than the other heart chambers because it needs to generate enough pressure to push blood throughout the entire body, in contrast to the right side of the heart, which pumps blood to the lungs, a much shorter distance.
