Why does blood from the body need to be pumped through the lungs before it is pumped back to the body?
Blood is the conduit for oxygen around the human body. If the blood did not circulate through the lungs, oxygen could not be carried around the body. Added to that, decreasing the amount of carbon dioxide is also an essential function of the lungs; the deoxygenised blood needs to relieve itself of the carbon dioxide and collect the oxygen again. The carbon dioxide is then breathed out via the lungs.

Why is blood pumped to the lungs before it is pumped round the body?
blood is pumped through lungs
Where is blood pumped to before it is pumped to the lungs?
it is pumped to the heart first then to the lungs
Why is blood pumped to the lungs before its pumped round the body?
To remove CO2 and to replenish the O2 in the blood.
What is blood pumped through to get to the lungs and body tissue?
Arteries.
When blood moves from the lungs to the heart it is now?
Blood is de-oxygenated when it it pumped into the lungs, and after going through the lungs, is now oxygenated.
When Blood entering the heart is pumped to the lungs before being pumped back out to the body why is this important?
The blood absorbs oxygen from the lungs - enabling it to be transported throughout the body.
Where does blood go after passing through the lungs?
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 blood pick up oxygen from before it is pumped to the rest of the body?
The lungs
Does the blood from the head flow to the lungs first before flowing to the heart?
No. Blood from the head returns to the right side of the heart and is then pumped ino the lungs. The blood from the head returns to the heart and is then sent to the lungs. If it went to the lungs before returning to the heart, that would be wasteful becase then it would have gone through the lungs twice before going to where it was needed.
Why is blood pumped to the lungs before it is pumped to the body?
Blood is pumped to the lungs first so that carbon dioxide can be released and oxygen can be picked up. This process allows the blood to be oxygenated before it is pumped to the rest of the body to deliver oxygen and nutrients to tissues and organs.
Blood get pump from the ...... to the lungs to pick up oxygen?
Right ventricle. Blood gets pumped from the body to the lungs where it is oxygenated then returns to the heart where it is pumped to the the other organs that need oxygen, e.g. the brain.
Where does the blood go after it leaves the lungs?
to the heart to be pumped out to the body through arteries
