After taking oxygen from the lungs the blood travels to the left atrium of the heart. From here the blood is pumped to the left ventricle. The left ventricle then pumps the oxygenated blood into the aorta through which it flows to the rest of the body.

When the lungs do not function in a fetal pig what takes over their function?
The placenta. Deoxygenated blood flows to the placenta where the carbon dioxide is removed and oxygen added. Oxygen rich blood returns to the fetus. Blood is carried to and from the fetus by the umbilical cord.
Which gas does blood take from the lungs and which gas does it give the lungs?
blood takes oxygen and gives carbon dioxide to the lungs
Which organ takes in oxygen?
The lungs absorbs oxygen into the blood
What gases pass from the blood to the lungs?
blood takes oxygen and gives carbon dioxide to the lungs
What circulation transports deoxygenated blood to the lungs to get oxygen?
Blood travels to the lungs because it is not oxygenated and it will become oxygenated in the lungs, since that is what the lungs are for. The pulmonary artery takes blood to the lungs, and the pulmonary vein takes blood from the lungs back to the heart, from whence it is pumped throughout the body.
What saclike organ takes oxygen from the air and delivers it to the blood on an amphibian?
Lungs
The function of lungs?
It is part of the reproductive system. it is the opening to the birth canal
What is the only artery in the body poor in oxygen?
The pulmonary artery (which takes blood from the hear to the lungs to be recharged with oxygen).
What blood vessel takes rich blood from the lungs and brings it back to the heart?
The pulmonary artery carries deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs.
If blood takes in oxygen and releases carbon dioxide in the lungs the blood passes through what?
The blood passes through tiny capillaries that lie in close proximity to the alveoli in the lungs. This is where the gas exchange takes place.
What happens when blood goes into the lungs?
Oxygen is inhaled into the body through the nose or the mouth. It travels through the trachea, to the bronchi, then through the bronchial tubes, and finally settles in the alveoli, which are tiny sacs in the lungs. As the blood is pumped into the lungs through the pulmonary artery of the right ventricle of the heart, the oxygen-depleted blood goes to the capillaries which wraps the alveoli. In the capillaries, oxygen is given from the alveoli to the blood, and blood would drop of carbone dioxide into the alveoli. Once this process is complete, the blood would return to the heart, and the carbone dioxide would be expelled from the body as we exhale.
What takes deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs where carbon dioxide is exchanged for oxygen?
Pulmonary arteries
