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.
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.

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?

What dose the heart do to the blood?
I believe you mean does. It pumps it around the body by the way.
What part of a human body brings blood back to the heart?
Veins
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.
What direction does the blood circulate in your body?
Blood only travels one way. Away from the heart to the body and lungs and back from the body and the lungs to the heart.
Why does the heart pump blood to the lungs?
heart pumps blood to the lungs for oxygenation.
Does blood return to the heart from the lungs by way of the pulmonary arteries?
yes
Why are there 2 separate sections of the heart?
We don't have any scientific explanation why the heart and circulatory system is the way it is, but we do know how it works. One side of the heart pumps blood from the heart to the lungs and back to the other side of the heart, getting rid of carbon dioxide and picking up oxygen. Then the other side of the heart pumps the oxygenated blood to every other part of the body and back to the heart again, getting rid of the oxygen and picking up carbon dioxide and other waste.
