False. The right ventricle is responsible for transporting deoxygenated blood to the lungs, not oxygenated blood. In the heart, the right atrium receives deoxygenated blood from the body and sends it to the right ventricle. From there, the right ventricle pumps this deoxygenated blood to the lungs through the pulmonary arteries. In the lungs, the blood takes up oxygen and releases carbon dioxide, becoming oxygenated before returning to the heart’s left atrium.
