There are two types of circulations, known as lesser and greater circulation. They are placed in series. say blood enters in right atrium through superior and inferior vena cave. Then it enters right ventricle. Then it passes to lungs, via pulmonary trunk. After purification from here it goes to left atrium. From it goes to left venrticle. From left ventricle it goes to all the body, but lungs. then from superior and inferior vena cave it again enters the left atrium.

How does the blood supply oxygen to its own cells?
The blood passes through the lungs of the body picking up blood and brings it to all the individual cells.
Through what organ must the blood pass in order to change its way?
The oxygen is passing from through the walls of the capillaries and the organs' walls. There are specially designed proteins which are allowed from the cell, to pass through the cell's wall (membrane).
What do the foramen ovale and ductus arteriosus do?
That is a very good question! In case of the fetus, the blood flow through the lungs is closed. So most of the blood passes through the foramen ovale to left atrium. Some blood goes to right ventricle. it is pumped by the right ventricle into pulmonary aorta. This blood passes to systemic aorta via ductus arteriosus. Both the blood flows stops after the birth of the baby. Baby takes a first breath. Blood starts to flow through the lungs. Due to pressure changes the foramen ovale get closed. By the same reason the ductus arteriosus get closed, as the circular muscles of the artery can contract.
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.
What happens to blood when it reaches the tissues?
when the blood reaches to the tissues then the cells embedded inside it absorbs the oxygen from the haemoglobin present inside the blood and blood absorbs all the waste material from the tissues like CO2,etc.then the blood passes the waste materials to the lungs AND AFTERWARDS it comes out through the process of respiration.
What happens to blood when it passes the lungs?
It turns red
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.
Where do red blood cells obtain oxygen?
The lungs, as blood passes through the lungs, they deposit carbon and receive oxygen.
How many time do red blood cells passes through the heart when it travels from the lungs and return to the lungs?
The body has a double circulation the blood passes through the heart twice in one complete circuit.
What are the four major organs through which the blood passes?
Lungs, Heart, liver & kidneys.
Blood passes through the pulmonary valve to the pulmonary trunk to the right and left what?
lungs
What happens to the oxygen when it reaches the blood?
As blood passes through lungs, there is exchange of oxygen and carbon bi oxide, from high concentration to low concentration and oxygen enters the blood from air to blood to make it oxygen rich.
When is blood oxygenated and deoxygenated as it circulates?
It is oxygenated as it passes through the lungs. The rest of the body deoxygenates it.
What is the body organ which oxygen passes through to capillaries?
The alveoli and capillaries in the lungs pass oxygen to the blood. Both have very thin walls, which allow the oxygen to pass from the alveoli to the blood. The capillaries then connect to larger blood vessels, called veins, which bring the oxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart.
Before oxygen is pick up in the lungs by hemoglobin it first diffuses through?
oxygen passes through the pleural cavity to blood( red blood cells)
When air passes out of the lungs it is inspiration?
When air passes through your lungs it is called respiration.
How does the blood supply oxygen to its own cells?
The blood passes through the lungs of the body picking up blood and brings it to all the individual cells.
