When blood leaves the lungs, it is oxygenated and travels through the pulmonary veins. It enters the left atrium of the heart, from where it moves into the left ventricle. From the left ventricle, the blood is pumped into the aorta and distributed throughout the body. The right side of the heart handles deoxygenated blood returning from the body, but oxygenated blood specifically exits the lungs through the left side.
