Oxygen
Oxygen
Oxygen in the lungs and passes through the alveoli, small sacs which allow gas exchange, and enters the blood to be pumped throughout the body.
Blood enters the heart from the systemic circulation in the right atrium, and then moves to the right ventricle. From there, blood is pumped into the pulmonary circulation. When the blood returns from the lungs, it enters the left atrium, then left ventricle, then is pumped to body tissues via the systemic circulation.
blood is pumped through lungs
No. The blood is always pumped in one direction.
it is pumped to the heart first then to the lungs
The blood that enters the left ventricle comes from the left atrium after being pumped through the mitral valve. It has been oxygenated in the lungs and is then pumped out to the rest of the body through the aorta.
The right side of the blood receives deoxygenated blood from the systemic (body) circulation. The right atrium receives blood from the systemic veins and pumps it into the right ventricle. At that point, the right ventricle pumps that blood to the lungs.
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.
When blood is pumped into the thin-walled blood vessels of the lungs, carbon dioxide is replaced with oxygen.
Blood coming from the lungs enters the left side of the heart.
oxigen is the gas that enters the blood through the lungs
