What direction does blood move during ventricular systole?

During ventricular systole, blood is ejected from the ventricles into the arteries. The right ventricle pumps deoxygenated blood into the pulmonary artery, directing it to the lungs for oxygenation, while the left ventricle sends oxygenated blood into the aorta, distributing it throughout the body. This movement occurs due to the contraction of the ventricular muscles, which increases pressure and forces the blood out of the heart.
