Q

What is the circulation steps of blood?

A
  1. Blood leaves the heart in arteries, which carry it to the tissues
  2. At the tissues, nutrients & wastes diffuse across capillary walls
  3. Veins return this oxygen deficient blood to the heart
  4. Blood then travels to the lungs to be oxygenated, and then back to the heart again
