Where does the heart pump to?
Well think of the heart and blood vessles as a race track. It start at the heart goes all they way around then back to the start so the heart pumps blood to the heart, but also ateries have a layer of smooth muscle that automatically contracts to help the movement of blood.
How the heart acts as a double pump?
The heart has two sides which are independent of each other. When it pumps, it pumps both on the left and right sides. The left carries blood throughout all the body tissues, and the right side pushes blood into the lungs for oxygenation.
Why does the heart pump blood to the lungs?
heart pumps blood to the lungs for oxygenation.
How does the blood pumped from the heart to the rest of the body and back again?
The heart sends deoxygenated blood to the lungs, via the pulmonary arteries - thus this system is called the pulmonary circuit De-oxygenated blood flows from right ventricle of heart to lungs through two pulmonary arteries for oxygenation. After oxygenation the blood now travels through the pulmonary veins to left auricle of heart. Two pulmonary veins from each lung reach the heart making a total of four pulmonary veins. This circulation of blood to and from lungs is called pulmonary circulation. The pulmonary vein is thus the only vein which carries oxygenated blood and pulmonary artery in the same way the only artery to carry deoxygenated blood.
Does oxygen enter the blood in the heart?
maybe your question goes this way..."how does oxygen enter the blood from the lungs?"Two types of blood vessels carry blood throughout our bodies: The arteries carry oxygenated blood (blood that has received oxygen from the lungs) from the heart to the rest of the body. The blood then travels through the veins back to the heart and lungs, where it receives more oxygen.
Is the heart connected to the lungs in any way?
Yes, the heart and lungs are connected through the circulatory system. The heart pumps oxygen-poor blood to the lungs to pick up oxygen and then pumps oxygen-rich blood back to the rest of the body.
Which side of the heart pumps fresh oxygenated blood through the lungs?
The right side of the heart: including the right atrium which tops off the right ventricle when it contracts and the right ventricle which pumps blood low in oxygen to the lungs. Pulmonary arteries carry that blood to the lungs. Pulmonary veins bring blood high in oxygen back to the heart.

How does blood goes to the vain?
Blood is transported to the veins through the action of the heart, which pumps oxygenated blood from the lungs into the arteries. As blood circulates throughout the body, it delivers oxygen and nutrients to tissues and organs. Deoxygenated blood then returns to the heart through the veins, aided by muscle contractions and one-way valves that prevent backflow. Once the heart fills with deoxygenated blood, it pumps it to the lungs for reoxygenation.
What is the specific way that blood takes from the lungs to the heart throughout the body back to the heart and back to the lungs?
Oxygen-rich blood from the lungs travels to the heart through the pulmonary veins, entering the left atrium. From there, it moves into the left ventricle, which pumps it out through the aorta to supply the body. After delivering oxygen and collecting carbon dioxide, the deoxygenated blood returns to the heart via the vena cavae into the right atrium, then flows into the right ventricle. Finally, the right ventricle pumps the blood to the lungs through the pulmonary arteries for reoxygenation.
Why is the left ventricle the hardest working chamber?
Because it pumps blood all around your body. In comparison the right ventricle only pumps deoxygenated blood a short way across to your lungs (think of where your heart is compared to your lungs, then consider how far away your little toe is!)
How does the pulmonary vein bring oxygenated blood to the heart?
Your body picks up oxygen in your lungs. Your right ventricle pumps blood through your pulmonary artery to your lungs. Your blood picks up oxygen in your lungs. From there, it needs to get to the rest of your body. How can it do that? Something has to send it there. Let's send it through a vein to the heart. Maybe we can get the heart to send the oxygenated blood to the rest of the body. The pulmonary vein brings oxygenated blood from the lungs back to the heart. Then the heart takes that blood and pumps it through arteries to the rest of the body. After the oxygen leaves the blood it returns by way of veins. Under what conditions would a vein contain oxygenated blood?
Through what organ must the blood pass in order to change its way?
The oxygen is passing from through the walls of the capillaries and the organs' walls. There are specially designed proteins which are allowed from the cell, to pass through the cell's wall (membrane).
How the heart acts as a double pump?
The heart has two sides which are independent of each other. When it pumps, it pumps both on the left and right sides. The left carries blood throughout all the body tissues, and the right side pushes blood into the lungs for oxygenation.
What part of a human body brings blood back to the heart?
Veins
What dose the heart do to the blood?
I believe you mean does. It pumps it around the body by the way.
What blood vessel travels to the heart?
There is no blood vessel that pumps blood. Only the heart pumps blood. The veins have one way valves that help bring blood back to the heart assisted by the contraction of skeletal muscles.
