Describe the flow of oxygenated blood from the first heart sound (lubb) to the finger. Your answer should include the name of the relevant heart chamber, the direction of blood flow through the relevant valve, the name of the elastic artery that the oxygenated blood is ejected into, and the type of blood vessel that ransports the oxygenated blood to the fingers.
