I assume you're asking how the heart delivers blood to the lungs and back to the heart.

When your heart beats, deoxygenated blood is delivered to the right atrium via the superior vena cava and inferior vena cava, which are large veins. The right atrium then pumps the blood to the right ventricle which pumps it to the lungs for oxygenation via the pulmonary artery. Cellular respiration occurs in the lungs and your blood becomes saturated with the oxygen you're breathing and gets rid of its waste product (Co2) when you exhale. The now oxygenated blood gets pumped back to the heart via the pulmonary vein and enters the left atrium. The left atrium pumps it to the left ventricle and the left ventricle pumps it to the ascending and descending aorta, which delivers it to the rest of your body and organs.

If there is internal bleeding to the lungs will the patient cough up blood?

If there is blood in the lungs... well, we breath air from our lungs, we cough and what is in our lungs comes out. We usually cough due to something unknown being in our lungs and our lungs forcing it out. So, yes when we cough and there is blood in our lungs, blood will come out. Now if we are to breath in blood for some unknown stupid reason, we will cough it out. So yes, if there is internal bleeding in our lungs, we will cough up blood.
