Left atrium

Lungs

Trachea

Aorta

Vena Cava Artery

Pulmonary arteries ( to lungs)

Through our lungs we breathe in many different gases including oxygen and carbon dioxide.This is how the carbon dioxidegets into our system.

The used blood containing carbon dioxideis bluish in color. The deoxygenatedblood enters through the right side of our heart.

The blood is then pumpedinto the lungs collecting oxygen and becoming more reddish in color.

This is were most ofthe carbon dioxide is lost.

The now oxygenated blood movesback through the pulmonary arteriesinto the left side of the heart.

Once it is back in the leftside of the heart, it ispumped around the body deliveringnutrients and oxygen.

It then returns back to the right side of the heart to repeat the cycle again.

THANKS FOR WATCHING.
