Which chamber pumps deoxygenated blood to the lungs?

The main idea is which chamber drives the pulmonary circulation, sending blood to the lungs for oxygenation. This role belongs to the right ventricle. It receives deoxygenated blood from the right atrium and contracts to push that blood into the pulmonary artery, which takes it to the lungs. The other chambers have different roles: the right atrium collects deoxygenated blood from the body, the left atrium receives oxygenated blood from the lungs, the left ventricle pushes oxygenated blood to the body via the aorta.
