In air through the passageways to the lungs, by diffusion through the alveoli into the blood, by diffusion out of the blood into the cells and through the cells into the mitochondria - where it ceases to exist as oxygen and becomes water.

What is the name of the circulatory pathway that involves with the left side of the heart?
A vein. Your veins take blood back to the heart to be pumped to the lungs to get oxygen. When your veins flow blood back to the heart, it goes through the left side of your heart.

What is meaning of blood circuit?
A blood circuit is the pathway blood travels from the heart out of the aorta to the rest of the body (oxygenated blood), then (deoxygenated blood) returns back to the heart to be sent to the lungs to exchange CO2 for oxygen then returns back to the starting point to leave the heart through the aorta again. A blood circuit is the pathway blood takes from a certain point then eventually returning back to that point.
What oxygen pushes blood through your body?
Oxygen does not push blood through the body, the heart does.
Oxygen-poor blood enters the heart through what atrium?
Oxygen-poor blood enters the heart through the right atrium
Where does the coronary pathway take the blood?
The coronary pathway takes blood to the heart.Related Information:Coronary arteries surround the heart and provided the muscles of the heart with blood.
What major differences are there between a vein and a artery?
Oxygen rich blood travels through the Arteries and Oxygen poor blood travels through the Veins.EXCEPT: Oxygen poor Blood traveling from the heart to the lungs goes through the Pulmonary Arteries and Oxygen rich blood going back to the heart from the lungs travels through the Pulmonary Veins.
What are the substances carried by blood and their functions?
Blood carries oxygen through out your body. Your lungs inhale oxygen and the blood cells carry the oxygen to your heart. Then the heart makes more blood cells to carry more oxygen to pump more blood.
What does a heart do to help you?
It pumps oxygen and blood through your system.
The blood now rich in oxygen re enters the heart though the pulmonary?
When blood that is rich in oxygen re enters the heart, the blood enters through the pulmonary valve. The pulmonary valve brings the oxygen rich blood to the pulmonary trunk of the pulmonary artery.
What returns oxygen-poor blood to the heart?
Yes, the blood from the lungs is rich in oxygen. Since you breathe in oxygen and nutrients through your nose/mouth to the lungs, the oxygen and nutrients are absorbed in the lungs and go through the blood stream into the heart
Do veins always carry oxygen-poor blood?
No, only in the systemic (body) circuit. The pulmonary veins carry oxygenated blood.All veins carry blood to the heart. The pulmonary vein carries oxygen rich blood to the heart from the lungs.
