Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the primary function of the pulmonary circulation?
  • Step 1: Understand that the body produces carbon dioxide (CO2) as a waste product when it uses oxygen.
  • Step 2: Recognize that blood carries this carbon dioxide to the lungs.
  • Step 3: In the lungs, the blood releases carbon dioxide into the air we breathe out.
  • Step 4: While in the lungs, the blood picks up fresh oxygen from the air we breathe in.
  • Step 5: The oxygenated blood then returns to the heart to be pumped to the rest of the body.
