Explanation:

Blood circulation: The heart (cardiovascular), lungs (pulmonary), arteries, veins, coronary, and portal vessels make up the human circulatory system (systemic). These systems move blood, oxygen, nutrients, and hormones to and from cells.


The heart has four chambers: the right and left atrium are the upper chambers, and the right and left ventricles are the lower chambers. It's behind and left of the breastbone.


Blood circulation involves these steps:

1. The pulmonary vein delivers oxygenated blood to the heart's left atrium.

2. Oxygenated blood is pumped from the left atrium to the left ventricle through valve V1.

3. When the left ventricle contracts, oxygenated blood enters the aorta, which distributes it to other parts of the body, excluding the lungs, through arterioles and capillaries.

4. Oxygenated blood supplies cells with oxygen, digested food, and dissolved materials. During respiration, carbon dioxide enters the bloodstream.

5. Deoxygenated blood containing carbon dioxide enters the vena cava, which transports it to the heart's right atrium.

6. Deoxygenated blood enters the right ventricle when the right atrium contracts.

7. Deoxygenated blood enters the pulmonary artery when the right ventricle contracts. The pulmonary vein sends oxygenated blood to the heart's left atrium for circulation.
