Heart

A
  1. deoxygenated blood comes in from the right atrium
  2. that blood gets pumped through the lungs by the right ventricle and back into the heart through the left atrium and left ventricle.
    3.oxygenated blood comes out and goes through the body.
    The left side pumps blood around the body and is much stronger.

Q

Respiratory What does it do?

A

Allows gas exchange through the body.
