The chamber of the heart sending oxygenated blood through a semilunar valve is the:
left ventricle
Feedback:
The oxygenated blood arriving into the left ventricle is coming from the left atrium. It leaves through the aorta through the aortic valve, a semilunar valve.
right atrium
Feedback:
The blood arriving into the right atrium is coming from the systemic circulation through the vena cava. It leaves through the tricuspid valve.
left atrium
Feedback:
The blood arriving into the left atrium is coming from the lungs through the pulmonary vein, and leaves through the mitral valve.
right ventricle
Feedback:
The blood arriving into the right ventricle is coming from the right atrium. It leaves through the pulmonary artery.

infarction
Feedback:
A heart attack, or myocardial infarction (MI), is permanent damage to the heart muscle. "Myo" means muscle, "cardial" refers to the heart, and "infarction" means death of tissue due to lack of blood supply.

left atrium
Feedback:
The oxygenated blood arriving into the left atrium is coming from the lungs through the pulmonary vein, and leaves through the mitral (left A-V) valve.
right atrium
Feedback:
The deoxygenated blood arriving into the right atrium is coming from the body. It leaves through the tricuspid( right A-V) valve.
