The right ventricle pumps blood to the lungs

where the alveoli oxygenate the blood. Then the

blood comes back through the pulmonary veins,

and into the left atrium, through the valve to the

ventricle, to the pulmonary artery, and to the different parts

of the body.

What makes the heart sounds?

The oxygen(rich)- and poor blood which are pumped in and out of the heart in the ventrical and atrium,with the help of mucsles, creates a sound (which is the sound that you hear)It is the blood getting pumped


How do the walls of the heart receive a blood supply in order to stay healthy?

the heart receives glucose and oxygen in the blood pumped through


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.............


What part of the heart is the squeezing chamber?

All four of the heart's chambers squeeze blood out into the corresponding chamber or artery. The right atrium pumps blood from the body into the right ventricle, and the right ventricle pumps that blood out of an artery that leads to the lungs. The blood then returns to the heart and is pumped by the left atrium to the left ventricle, which pumps the blood to the rest of the body.


Is the main purpose of the heart to oxygenate blood true or false?

False in general as it is only indirectly that blood pumped by the heart is oxygenated. The heart is primarily a pump. Blood pumped to the lungs picks up oxygen (becomes oxygenated) and disposes of carbon dioxide. Oxygen diffusing from the alveoli of the lungs is the true site of oxygenation. Thus the heart's pumping only gives blood the route to the lungs, the site of oxygenation. The heart has no oxygenation powers of its own.

Where does the blood get pumped?

The left venricular chamber of the heart is responsible for pumping the blood throughout the body


What is in blood that is being pumped from the heart to the lungs?

Carbon dioxide is at high levels and oxygen at low levels in blood that is being pumped from the heart to the lungs.


What are the high and low oxygenated chambers?

The high oxygenated chamber is the left ventricle of the heart, where oxygen-rich blood is pumped out to the body. The low oxygenated chamber is the right ventricle, which receives oxygen-poor blood from the body and pumps it to the lungs for oxygenation.


What does blood that is being pumped from the heart to the lungs contians?

blood that is being pump from the heart to the lungs is oxygen.


What are the two types of blood that are in the heart?

The two types of blood that are in the heart are oxygen-rich blood that is pumped from the lungs to the body (systemic circulation) and oxygen-poor blood that is pumped from the body to the lungs (pulmonary circulation).


Describe the path of the blood through the body?

You breath in oxygen, oxygen goes to the lungs. The oxygen is carried from the lungs to the heart. The blood cells are filled with oxygen, then pumped through your body. If you feel on your neck below your jaw, you should feel your pulse. This is an artery pumping blood to your brain. Then, the used blood is pumped back to your heart to receive more oxygen and then is pumped back to somewhere in your body.


Blood get pump from the ...... to the lungs to pick up oxygen?

Right ventricle. Blood gets pumped from the body to the lungs where it is oxygenated then returns to the heart where it is pumped to the the other organs that need oxygen, e.g. the brain.


What chamber pumps the blood to the lungs?

The right chamber pumps blood to the lungs to get oxygen.


Why does the blood from the different parts of the body enter the heart?

The blood from the different parts of the body enters the heart through veins in order to be pumped/circulated. First through the lungs to be oxygenated and then back to the body where it can deliver the oxygen. Starting at the heart, freshly oxygenated blood is pumped to the body where the oxygen is used up by muscles etc., and the deoxygenated blood then returns to the heart. It is then pumped to the lungs where it absorbs oxygen from the air you breathe, and finally it is pumped back to the heart and the cycle begins over again.


Which two parts of the human body does blood get pumped to?

Blood is pumped from the heart to the lungs for oxygenation and then circulated to the rest of the body through arteries to deliver oxygen and nutrients, returning to the heart through veins to be pumped again.

On each side of the heart a value allows blood to travel from the upper chamber to the lower chamber why is this important?

These valves prevent backflow of blood, ensuring that it moves in one direction through the heart. This helps to maintain proper circulation and ensures that oxygen-rich blood is efficiently pumped to the rest of the body.
