It is the delivery of oxygen from the lungs to the bloodstream
How does smoking affect your lungs?
Several chest infections. Coughing as well. Also less oxygen reaching the blood stream causing the heart to pump faster
4 chambers
RA
RV
LA
LV
Right side blood flow
The blood comes through the RA then RV then out into the body via pulmonary artery
Left side blood flow
Through LA, through LV through Aorta
Three blood vessels?
Arteries
Veins
Capillaries
The movement of blood starting at the RA
RA, RV, out through pulmonary artery to the lungs, back from the lungs into LA,LV and to the body
What side of the heart receives blood from the lungs?
