How does blood pass through the systemic circuit?

In the systemic circuit, oxygen-rich blood is pumped from the left ventricle of the heart into the aorta, which branches into smaller arteries and arterioles, delivering oxygen and nutrients to tissues throughout the body. After the exchange of gases and nutrients occurs in the capillaries, the deoxygenated blood is collected by venules, which merge into larger veins. This deoxygenated blood returns to the heart through the superior and inferior vena cavae, entering the right atrium and completing the circuit.


Where does Deoxygenated blood flow?

As oxygenated blood flows through the capillaries of the body, oxygen & nutrients diffuse from the blood into the body cells, & carbon dioxide & other wastes diffuse from the cells into the blood. The blood becomes deoxygenated. So I guess blood becomes deoxygenated in the capillaries of the body as it circulates.

What returns oxygen-poor blood to the heart?

Yes, the blood from the lungs is rich in oxygen. Since you breathe in oxygen and nutrients through your nose/mouth to the lungs, the oxygen and nutrients are absorbed in the lungs and go through the blood stream into the heart


Does the term blue blood refer to the blood in the arteries?

No. Veins, have the deoxygenated blue blood. they travel throughout the body to the lungs in order to oxygenate the blood and turn the blood red. Th red blood travels through the heart and out in to the arteries.
