A drop of blood which has been deoxygenated by the body first enters the right side of the heart from the veins. It then goes into the lungs for oxygenation and then enters the heart again in its left side. From the left side of the heart, the drop is then carried by the arteries to the areas of the body like brain, kidneys, muscles, skin etc.
