As blood leaves the left ventricle, it passes through the aortic valve an then into the aorta before being pumped throughout the rest of the body.

Four main blood vessels enter/exit the heart: two veins and two arteries. Oxygenated blood enters the left ventricle through the pulmonary vein. This same blood is then pumped out of the left atrium via the aorta. Meanwhile, de-oxygenated blood enters the heart in the vena cava; before leaving through the pulmonary artery.
There are two blood vessels that take the blood away from the heart. The PULMONARY ARTERY takes deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs to get oxygenated, and the AORTA which takes oxygenated blood from the heart and distributes it to the body.
The general blood flow path is from the aorta to the heart. The blood will then leave the heart and flow throughout the rest of the body. This path of blood happens every time the heart beats.
this question is all mixed up. you must understand that blood leave the heart and goes to the body by travelling through the arteries(except the pulmonary artery) then is distributed to individual cells by the arteries then goes back to the heart through the veins(except the pulmonary vein). so in the case of the heart cells, blood accesses the heart through the coronary artery, goes to the individual cardiac muscle cells by the capillaries and and then back to the hearth through to coronary vein.
The pulmonary artery, which takes deoxygenated blood from the right side of the heart to the lung to be reoxygenated. The pulmonary vein then carries oxygenated blood back to the left side of the heart to be pumped back to the rest of the body.
