Start in the superior and inferior vena-cava, moves to the right atrium, goes through the tricuspid valve to the right ventricle. The blood then goes through the pulmonary semi-lunar valve to the pulmonary artery (which contains oxygen poor blood). This then goes to the lungs where the oxygen poor blood is oxygenated and comes back to the heart via the pulmonary vein (which contains oxygen rich blood).

Can a human being survive if his respiratory surface becomes dry?
No. The respiratory system consists of 70 % water and so does the body. oxygen and carbon dioxide is exchanged in the lungs through the aveoli in the lungs. your entire body has a circulatory system that is linked to the lungs to supply oxygen to the entire body through the blood from the lungs and your lungs contain fluid and blood is a portion of that fluid and you cannot live without blood or fluid in the body Answer no. the respiratory system consists of 70 % water and so does the body. oxygen and carbon dioxide is exchanged in the lungs through the aveoli in the lungs. your entire body has a circulatory system that is linked to the lungs to supply oxygen to the entire body through the blood from the lungs and your lungs contain fluid and blood is a portion of that fluid and you cannot live without blood or fluid in the body.
