If the pulmonary artery is blocked, blood would go back up to the right ventricle of the heart.

<h3>What is pulmonary artery stenosis? </h3>

The pulmonary artery is responsible for carrying the deoxygenated blood from the right ventricle of the heart to the lungs to get oxygenated.

Pulmonary artery stenosis is a condition in which the pulmonary artery gets narrowed or blocked. Therefore, blood flow from the heart to the lungs is hampered.

This creates pressure on the walls of the heart. Also, if blood flow towards the lungs is hampered, the heart will not receive the required amount of oxygen. All of this will lead to damage to the heart muscles over the course of time.

Therefore, as a result of the pulmonary blockage, blood would first back up into the right ventricle.

The pulmonary artery is the part of the circulatory system that carries deoxygenated blood. The blockage in the pulmonary artery will back up the blood into the right ventricle. Thus, option d is correct.

<h3>What is the right ventricle?</h3>

The right ventricle is one of the chambers of the heart that is present on the lower side and pumps the blood with low oxygen concentration. It receives the deoxygenated blood from the upper chamber called the right atrium.

The deoxygenated blood from the body is collected by the pulmonary artery that passes it to the right ventricle of the heart. This then passes to the left atrium where the oxygenated blood is circulated to the body.

Therefore, option d. blockage in the pulmonary artery will move the blood into the right ventricle.
