Why does the blood from the different parts of the body enter the heart?

The blood from the different parts of the body enters the heart through veins in order to be pumped/circulated. First through the lungs to be oxygenated and then back to the body where it can deliver the oxygen. Starting at the heart, freshly oxygenated blood is pumped to the body where the oxygen is used up by muscles etc., and the deoxygenated blood then returns to the heart. It is then pumped to the lungs where it absorbs oxygen from the air you breathe, and finally it is pumped back to the heart and the cycle begins over again.
