The lungs provide for gas exchange between the blood and the air. So when your heart pumps blood to your lungs, the lungs provide an area for blood to absorb oxygen from the air we breath in and to rid its self of excess carbon dioxide, which is then exhaled.

Blood goes into the right side of the heart from the body then pumped to the lungs for purification( this is when oxygen is mixed with haemoglobin( a substance in the body) to make the blood cleaned, it is then pumped to the left side of the heart were it is transported to every part of the body, then the circulation starts all over again.............
Which structures pump the blood from the heart?

From the heart blood moves into larger vessels called?
oxygenated blood is pumped into the aorta and goes to the rest of the body. deoxygenated blood is pumped into the pulmonary artery where it goes to the lungs to get oxygenated
Where is blood pumped to before it is pumped to the lungs?
it is pumped to the heart first then to the lungs
What phase of the heart cycle is the blood pumped out of the heart?

What is taken from the lungs when its pumped to the heart?
Oxygenated blood is moved from the lungs to the heart. This transport occurs in the pulmonary vein.
When blood moves from the lungs to the heart it is now?

When Blood entering the heart is pumped to the lungs before being pumped back out to the body why is this important?
The blood absorbs oxygen from the lungs - enabling it to be transported throughout the body.
Where is the blood in the heart going to?
Blood goes into the right side of the heart from the body then pumped to the lungs for purification( this is when oxygen is mixed with haemoglobin( a substance in the body) to make the blood cleaned, it is then pumped to the left side of the heart were it is transported to every part of the body, then the circulation starts all over again.............
