Provide oxygen to the entire body, from the brain to the pinky toe. Blood is circulated via the Pulmonary Artery from the heart to the lungs, and from the lungs (where oxygen is absorbed by the red blood cells) to the rest of the body. After the oxygen has been dispersed, the blood cells begin the cycle anew.
