Why is blood pumped to the lungs before its pumped round the body?
To remove CO2 and to replenish the O2 in the blood.
What is the function for the heart and lungs?
The lungs pull in oxygen which is then taken into the blood stream which is pumped round the body by the heart.
Why do fish only have 2 chambers in the heart?
Unlike mammals, fish absorb oxygen directly into the blood stream at the gills. They don't have lungs so blood doesn't have to be pumped to the lungs to be oxygenated before it can be pumped round the body so they only need 2 chambers in their heart
Describe the path of the blood through the body?
You breath in oxygen, oxygen goes to the lungs. The oxygen is carried from the lungs to the heart. The blood cells are filled with oxygen, then pumped through your body. If you feel on your neck below your jaw, you should feel your pulse. This is an artery pumping blood to your brain. Then, the used blood is pumped back to your heart to receive more oxygen and then is pumped back to somewhere in your body.
How does the blood on the right side of the heart differ from the one on the left heart?
On the right side of the heart there is deoxygenated blood which has already been pumped round the body and is now returning to the heart. On the left side of the heart there is oxygenated blood which has just come from the lungs and is about to be pumped round the body Hope this is useful can't quite renember the names and technical words.. sorry...
What transports oxygen within the blood?
The red blood cells carry the oxygen from the lungs round the body. The heart pumps the red blood cells to go around the body. When the oxygen is given to the cells, the red blood cells return to the heart and get pumped back to the lungs while carrying carbon dioxide.
How do oxygen and carbon dioxide move into and out of cells?
The are transported round attached to a molecule called haemoglobin, present in the red blood cells. The blood is then pumped round the body by the heart and Carbon Dioxide is replaced for Oxygen in the lungs and the converse in the body's capillaries.
Where blood end IN the body?
The blood is pumped by the heart round the body in a circular system, so there is no actual end.
How does plasma flow?
Plasma makes up 60% of blood and is pumped round the body by the heart.
Why Blood is pumped by the brain?
Veins running back to your heart from your ear! Jk, the Veins flow thru your neck and the blood is reoxygenated to continue its cycle.
Why does the blood become more darker as it is being pumped round the body?
it xygen and so turns darker
What advantages are there in supplying pulmonary circulation with blood at low pressure than that of systemic circulation?
Because the pulmonary circuit only pumps blood to the lungs and back to oxygenate it before it is sent round the rest of the body. The Systemic circuit must pump the blood everywhere else in the body and therefore has a much larger distance to cover which is why it needs more force and pressure.
