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).
