The heart is the pump. It pumps the blood regardless of the oxygenation status of the blood. The right side of the heart pumps the deoxygenated blood. Deoxygenated means from which the oxygen is taken away. The left side of the heart pumps the oxygenated blood. Blood gets oxygen and gives away the carbon bi oxide in the lungs. Lungs are specialized organ system to perform the same function.

How does pulmonary circulation work?
It is the flow of CO2-carrying blood from the right side of the heart, to the lungs for oxygenation and back to the left side of the heart for distribution throughout the body.
The pulmonary arterie branches from the aorta?
No, the pulmonary artery branches from the right ventricle of the heart, not the aorta. The pulmonary artery carries deoxygenated blood from the right side of the heart to the lungs for oxygenation. The aorta, on the other hand, is the main artery that carries oxygenated blood from the left side of the heart to the rest of the body.
What part does your brain play in the circulation of blood?
It circulates to your brain, but it circulates from your heart.
What organ of the body pumps blood to all part of the body?
The heart is the main pumping machine of the cardio vascular system. The calf muscles also helps to pump venous blood towards the heart
Structure of human heart with its working?
Hear is a pumping organ. It consists of four chambers. upper two chambers called Auricles and lower called Ventricles. Left side of the heart is filled with Pure blood and right side with impure blood.
What is the function of the four chambered heart?
pump blood for oxygenation and circulation
Is the main purpose of the heart to oxygenate blood true or false?
False in general as it is only indirectly that blood pumped by the heart is oxygenated. The heart is primarily a pump. Blood pumped to the lungs picks up oxygen (becomes oxygenated) and disposes of carbon dioxide. Oxygen diffusing from the alveoli of the lungs is the true site of oxygenation. Thus the heart's pumping only gives blood the route to the lungs, the site of oxygenation. The heart has no oxygenation powers of its own.
What circuit carries blood to the body except the lungs for oxygenation and back to the heart?
There are two circuits: Pulmonary-carries blood to the lungs and back to the heart Systemic-carries blood from the body and back to the heart
Why is the heart important in the human body?
The heart maintains your circulation by pumping blood both to your lungs for oxygenation and to your entire body for nourishment.
Where do coronary arteries empty their blood at?
After the coronary arteries travel around the heart, they go to the lungs for oxygenation.
The largest vein in the body?
The largest vein in the human body is the inferior vena cava. The inferior vena cava is the vein that carries oxygenation blood to the heart for oxygenation.
Why do blood cells need to travel back through the heart to the lungs?
So as to get OXYGENATED by process of OXYGENATION(and not oxidation).
How does exercise increase blood oxygenation?
During aerobics exercise, lungs take in air and transfer oxygen to the blood, which is then pumped by the heart to the muscles that need it.
How do you describe the pulmonary artery?
All the arteries carry oxygenated blood towards the heart, but pulmonary artery is the only artery in the body which carries de-oxygenated blood. It carries deoxygentaed blood from the heart to the lungs for oxygenation.
How does pulmonary circulation?
It is the flow of CO2-carrying blood from the right side of the heart, to the lungs for oxygenation and back to the left side of the heart for distribution throughout the body.
What are the Function of pulmonary?
To bring blood to the lungs for oxygenation. It's the only artery in the body where the blood is not oxygenated. The reverse is true about the Pulmonary vein.
What side of the heart sends blood to the lungs for oxygen?
The left side of the heart supplies blood to the body through the aorta, the largest artery in the body. The right side of the heart sends blood to the lungs for oxygenation.
