Heart Circulation
Circulation Through the Body The heart functions as two separate pumps
Pulmonary Circulation Oxygen-poor blood from the right side of the heart goes to the lungs.
In the lungs... Carbon dioxide leaves the blood and goes into the alveoli of lungs. Oxygen is absorbed into the blood on red blood cells (hemoglobin)
Systemic Circulation Oxygen-rich blood from the left side of the heart goes to the rest of the body.
After cycling through the body Oxygen-poor blood returns to the right side of the heart and the cycle starts over.
