Answer

Contraction of left ventricle

Reason

  • Oxygenated blood enters the left atrium from the lungs, then moves to the left ventricle.
  • When the left ventricle contracts, it pumps this blood into the aorta, sending it to all parts of the body.
  • The right side (right atrium/ventricle) deals with deoxygenated blood and sends it to the lungs, not the body.

Therefore, it is specifically during the contraction of the left ventricle that oxygenated blood is distributed to all parts of the body.
