After passing through the lungs, oxygenated blood travels back to the heart and is pumped out to the rest of the body through the arteries.

Where does the blood go after it leaves the heart?

After leaving the heart, the blood travels through the arteries to deliver oxygen and nutrients to the body's tissues. It then returns to the heart through the veins to be pumped to the lungs for oxygenation.


What are systemic and pulmonary circulation?

Systemic circulation is the flow of blood from the heart to all parts of the body and back to the heart, while pulmonary circulation is the flow of blood between the heart and the lungs. Systemic circulation delivers oxygen and nutrients to the body's tissues, while pulmonary circulation is responsible for oxygenating the blood and removing carbon dioxide.


What chamber receives the blood from all parts of the body except the lungs?

Blood from the superior vena cava and inferior vena cava meet to flow into the right atrium, then to the right ventricle, in order to go into the lungs and refresh the oxygen in the blood .


How does the body get rid of waste products?

The body gets rid of waste products primarily through the kidneys, which filter waste from the blood to produce urine that is excreted out of the body. Other waste products are eliminated through the lungs (carbon dioxide), skin (sweat), and intestines (feces).


How does blood flow through the body?

blood (red blood cells) filled with wastes like carbon dioxide enters the inferior vena cava(lower body) or the superior vena cava (upper body) in the heart and goes to the right atrium and goes to the right right ventricle though the tricuspid valve. from there the blood goes to left and right lungs to drop off the carbon dioxide for the organism to exhale and picks up oxygen through the pulmonary valve and pulmonary artery and returns back to the heart through the pulmonary vein and into the left atrium. from there in goes to the left ventricle through the mitral valve. oxygen rich blood flows through the aortic valve to the aorta to go to the rest of the body. from there oxygen rich blood flows through arteries until it gets to a place like the big toe. capillaries connect arteries to veins. capillaries take the oxygen from the blood cells and puts carbon dioxide and other wastes in them. next, the blood goes to the veins back to the heart and goes through the inferior vena cava and the cycle start all over again until blood cells travel to the liver 120 days after they are made in large bones like the femur(thigh bone).
