The blood is pumped through your lungs and other parts of your body to carry oxygen and other necessary nutrients throughout your body. It also carries the wastes like carbon dioxide out of your body. It is necessary for the blood to pass through your lungs so that your blood can pick up the oxygen and to get rid of the carbon dioxide that it picked up in the body.

Which two parts of the human body does blood get pumped to?

Blood is pumped from the heart to the lungs for oxygenation and then circulated to the rest of the body through arteries to deliver oxygen and nutrients, returning to the heart through veins to be pumped again.


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.


Where does the blood travel next after returning from the blood cells?

Blood cells are part of the blood the blood doesn't return from the blood cells. Very basically, the blood is pumped from the heart through the arteries to various parts of the body. The blood does it's job of delivering necessary substances to the body's cells - such as nutrients and oxygen - and then transports waste products away from those same cells via the veins. The blood goes back to the heart where it is pumped to the lungs. In the lungs the blood is oxygenated and pumped back to various parts of the body

How does Blood flow from left foot to right hand?

The oxygen rich blood is usually pumped out of the heart from the left side. It is then pumped to the various parts of the body.


How does systemic circulation work?

In systemic circulation, oxygenated blood is pumped from the heart to all parts of the body through the arteries. The blood delivers oxygen and nutrients to the tissues and picks up waste products. Deoxygenated blood returns to the heart through the veins to be pumped to the lungs for oxygenation.


Where does blood fro the left ventricle go?

Draw a diagram of the parts of the circulatory system to show the sequence in which the blood flows through the body Write captions that describe how the parts of the system work together to do its?

While I can't draw a diagram, I can describe the sequence of blood flow through the circulatory system. Blood is pumped from the heart's left ventricle into the aorta, distributing oxygen-rich blood to the body. It returns deoxygenated blood through veins to the right atrium, flows into the right ventricle, and is then pumped to the lungs via the pulmonary arteries for oxygenation. Finally, the oxygenated blood returns to the left atrium, completing the circuit.
