How does the heart work with the lungs?

Oxygen is essential to keep us alive. Adequate levels of oxygen is very important to cell respiration. The heart and lungs have a relationship that makes sure that there is sufficient supply of oxygen in the blood. The heart sends deoxygenated blood to the lungs. The blood that goes through the lungs are given oxygen. The blood becomes deoxygenated again, and it is sent back to the lungs, and the cycle goes through. This is the interaction between the heart and the lungs.


Why is the heart double pump?

The heart is a single organ, but it functions as a double pump sending oxygen-depleted blood to the lungs to pick-up oxygen and unload carbon dioxide, while simultaneously sending oxygen-loaded blood coming from the lungs to cells throughout the body. The heart's right ventricle pumps blood to the lungs, while the left ventricle pumps the oxygenated blood to the body cells.
