What is the route through the heart?
Blood flows from the systemic circulation into the right atrium of the heart, then passes through the tricuspid valve to the right ventricle. From there, blood is pumped to the lungs. On the blood's return from the lungs, it enters the left atrium, then moves through the bicuspid valve to the left ventricle. From there, it is pumped to the systemic circulation.
What is the route blood takes from the heart to the lungs and back again?
The pulmonary circulation takes blood from the heart to the lungs and back again. Blood moves from the right ventricle to the pulmonary artery, then into the lungs where blood is oxygenated. Blood returns from the lungs to the heart in the pulmonary vein, and enters the left atrium.
Is the main purpose of the heart to oxygenate blood true or false?
False in general as it is only indirectly that blood pumped by the heart is oxygenated. The heart is primarily a pump. Blood pumped to the lungs picks up oxygen (becomes oxygenated) and disposes of carbon dioxide. Oxygen diffusing from the alveoli of the lungs is the true site of oxygenation. Thus the heart's pumping only gives blood the route to the lungs, the site of oxygenation. The heart has no oxygenation powers of its own.
