How does blood flow through the heart and to the body and lungs?

Blood enters the heart from the Superior and Inferior Vena Cava, which empties into the Right atrium. The tricuspid valve opens and the blood enters the right ventricle. These chambers contract forcing blood through the bicuspid valve into the left ventricle. The ventricles contract forcing the blood up the pulmonary trunk and into the pulmonary arteries which take the blood to the lungs where the blood picks up O2 and returns to the heart. The rest of the blood is pumped into the aorta and through out the body and returned to the superior and inferior vena cava via the veins.

What are the two main areas that the heart pumps blood to?
The left side of the heart pumps blood to the head and body. The right side of the heart pumps blood to the lungs
Do the lungs or heart pump oxygenated blood through the body?
Heart.
Which organ is in charge of pumping blood through the body?
The heart pumps blood through the lungs and through the rest of the body
What vessels carries blood the lungs to the lungs to the heart?
The blood vessels that carry the blood from the heart to the lungs are the pulmonary arteries. Blood returns from the body and is pumped by the right ventricle to the lungs, through the pulmonary arteries. The blood returns to the left side of the heart through the pulmonary veins.
Does deoxygenated blood flow?
the heart is a double pump The heart pumps deoxigenated blood from the body through the heart and then through the lungs the back to the heart.
How does the lungs pump blood around the body?
No. The lungs oxygenate the blood. The heart pumps the blood through the arteries/veins/capillaries around the body.
Which side of the heart collects blood from the lungs and pumps it through the body And which circuit is this?
The right side of the heart pumps blood to the lungs
What are the blood vessels that bring oxygenated blood back to the heart?
The inferior and superior vena cavae bring deoxygenated blood back to the heart from the rest of the body. From there it goes through the heart, to the lungs, back through the heart, then to the body.
How does oxygen that is in the air get into your blood?
lungs pumps air to the heart and heart pumps air around body through blood
What blood vessels carry blood from the heart to the lungs?
The blood vessels that carry the blood from the heart to the lungs are the pulmonary arteries. Blood returns from the body and is pumped by the right ventricle to the lungs, through the pulmonary arteries. The blood returns to the left side of the heart through the pulmonary veins.
What relate to blood heart and lungs?
Blood comes into your heart through the veins all throughout the body, it enters the heart through the superior and inferior vena cava, leaves the heart though the pulmonary artery, enters the lungs,...
Where does Deoxygenated blood flow?
As oxygenated blood flows through the capillaries of the body, oxygen & nutrients diffuse from the blood into the body cells, & carbon dioxide & other wastes diffuse from the cells into the blood. The blood becomes deoxygenated. So I guess blood becomes deoxygenated in the capillaries of the body as it circulates.
