Aorta: The aortic valve is the last valve crossed by the blood as it leaves the heart. Once blood leaves the heart, crossing the aortic valve, it enters the aorta (the largest artery of the body).

Left ventricle: Blood will enter the left ventricle to be then pumped through the aorta to the rest of the body.
