The blood travels via a closed system which begins at the 2-pump heart. The first pump, on the right side, takes blood delivered to the heart, from the body, and sends it to the lungs to release the carbon dioxide and absorb oxygen through a process called diffusion. Then the blood is returned to the left side of the heart and it is pumped out through the aorta and travels the length and breath of the body, to return to the right pump beginning the process again. During this "circulation" the blood is traveling in tubes of varying size, generally called arteries (going away from the heart), capillaries (porous delivery system) and veins (going towards the heart).

What are the two main areas that the heart pumps blood to?
The left side of the heart pumps blood to the head and body. The right side of the heart pumps blood to the lungs
Blood from the lungs enters the heart at what side?
When blood leaves the lungs through the pulmonary veins, it returns to the heart and enters the left ventricle.
What type of blood travels from the lungs to the heart?
Blood receives oxygen and releases carbon dioxide as it passes through the lungs (within the blood vessels), therefore it would be oxygenated blood traveling from the lungs into the heart, and through the heart and going out to all major organs, the brain, and to the limbs.
Which side of the heart collects blood from the lungs and pumps it through the body And which circuit is this?
The right side of the heart pumps blood to the lungs
Does blood flow from the pulmonary arteries leads to the lungs?
The pulmonary artery sends blood from the heart to the lungs, while the pulmonary vein sends blood from the lungs back into the heart. So yes, pulmonary circulation flows blood through the lungs
How does blood travel from the heart to the lungs?
It depends blood doesnt go into the lungs but if your talking about how does blood travel threw lungs its by veins.
What part of the body does the red blood cells travel?
Red blood cells are part of the blood and travel where the blood goes. Blood is moved through the heart to the lungs and back to the heart. Then it is moved through arteries to all the tissues of the body and back to the heart through the veins.
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).
When blood cells leave the heart what vessel do they travel through?
Blood leaves the heart through two vessels: going to the lungs, it leaves through the pulmonary artery, and going to the rest of the body, it leaves through the aorta.
What vessels carries blood the lungs to the lungs to the heart?
The blood vessels that carry the blood from the heart to the lungs are the pulmonary arteries. Blood returns from the body and is pumped by the right ventricle to the lungs, through the pulmonary arteries. The blood returns to the left side of the heart through the pulmonary veins.
Where does blood travel to the lungs then to?
The heart pumps blood to different parts of the body through small tubes called blood vessels. The human body has two circulatory systems. Pulmonary Circulation and Systemic Circulation. Pulmonary Circulation - blood flows from the heart to the lungs and then back from lungs to heart. Systemic Circulation - blood flows from the heart to other organs in the body and back from other organs to the heart.
What part of the heart which receives blood from the lungs is the?
The heart receives blood from the lungs on the left side through the Pulmonary Veins.
Flow of blood through the hears to the lungs?
The flow of blood from the heart to the lungs and back to the heart is called pulmonary circulation.
What are the two main areas that the heart pumps blood to?

What blood vessels carry blood from the heart to the lungs?
The blood vessels that carry the blood from the heart to the lungs are the pulmonary arteries. Blood returns from the body and is pumped by the right ventricle to the lungs, through the pulmonary arteries. The blood returns to the left side of the heart through the pulmonary veins.
Do the lungs or heart pump oxygenated blood through the body?
Heart.
What collects blood from the lungs?
Blood that has perfused the lungs and is now oxygenated collects into the pulmonary veins to travel back to the heart. Once reaching the heart, oxygenated blood from the lungs enters the left atrium. The left atrium collects blood from the lungs
