Given the following reasoning and answer, what was the question? This is the relevant information: From the left ventricle the blood passes through the aortic valve to the aorta.
 The answer: through the aortic valve to the aorta
The question Passage: The oxygenated blood then leaves the lungs through pulmonary veins, which return it to the left heart, completing the pulmonary cycle. This blood then enters the left atrium, which pumps it through the mitral valve into the left ventricle. From the left ventricle the blood passes through the aortic valve to the aorta. The blood is then distributed to the body through the systemic circulation before returning again to the pulmonary circulation.

Question: Based on this passage, where does blood leaving the left ventricle go?
