Which vessel receives blood during right ventricular systole?

During right ventricular systole, the right ventricle contracts to pump blood out of the heart. The blood flows into the pulmonary artery, which carries deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs for oxygenation. This process is a crucial part of the pulmonary circulation, allowing carbon dioxide to be released from the blood and oxygen to be absorbed.

The aorta, on the other hand, is involved in systemic circulation and receives blood from the left ventricle, not the right. The pulmonary vein carries oxygenated blood back to the heart from the lungs, and it does not play a role during right ventricular systole. Similarly, the coronary arteries supply blood to the heart muscle itself but are not involved in the direct movement of blood from the right ventricle during contraction. Thus, the vessel that directly receives blood during right ventricular systole is the pulmonary artery.
