Answer
Blood flow through the cardiovascular system :
Strarting with right atrium :
From superior and inferior vena cava, the blood again enters right atrium and the cycle continues.
- Right side of the heart receive deoxygenated blood that is
pumped to the lungs. Lungs (pulmonary capillaries and alveoli) is
the site for external respiration.
- Left side of the heart receive oxygenated blood that is pumped to
the body tissues. Internal respiration occurs at systemic
capillaries and body tissues.
