1.Lungs to heart – oxygenated blood – blood carries

more oxygen and less carbon dioxide.
2.
3.Heart to rest of the body – oxygenated blood –
blood carries digested food, nutrients and water
from the digestive system.
4.
5.Rest of the body to heart – deoxygenated blood
– carries less oxygen and more carbon dioxide.
Digested food, nutrients, oxygen and water are used
to produce energy. Waste are also removed.
6.
7.Heart to lungs – deoxygenated blood is sent back
to the lungs.
Deoxygenated blood is also known as carbon
dioxide rich blood. Exhaled air from the lungs
contains more carbon dioxide than oxygen.
