Red Blood cell
The blood in your body travels in a
double circuit - it goes through the
Heart 2 times before it completes 1
full cycle
Red Blood cell
1. From the Heart to all the tissues
and organs EXCEPT the lungs.

2. From the Heart to the Lungs
(CO2 diffuses out of the capillaries,
O2 Diffuses into the capillaries)

Journey of the Red Blood Cell
Going to the upper body
1
Step
Red Blood cell
Red blood cells are
filled with Oxygen.
They start in the
Left Ventricle and
leave through the
Aorta onto the
Arteries.
Going to
the Legs
A
From The Heart
Once the Blood leaves through the
Arteries it travels to tissue and organs
(not the Lungs)
B
When it reaches the destination it
gives off the oxygen to the cells.

Red Blood cell
Step
After it becomes Deoxygenated, the
blood enters the veins with lots of
carbon dioxide in the plasma
2
Capillaries link
the artery to
vein - it is the
place of
diffusion for the
gases.
Remember the 3 Types of
Blood Vessels

Step
Red Blood cell
Then it ends up
in the Right
Atrium
Blood exits the
heart from the
pulmonary
artery
At this point is
blood
The Deoxygenated
blood enters from vein
oxygenated
or
deoxygenated?
3
Travel to the Lungs
Red Blood cell
Deoxygenated Blood
enters the lung
capillaries to get the
oxygen.
Red Blood Cells
Diffuse out the CO2
Diffuse in O2
The Oxygenated blood
then travels back to the
heart.

Step
Red Blood cell
Same old Routine:
Heart to body to Heart
Heart to Lungs to Heart
The Oxygenated
blood then enters
the left atrium
Red Blood cell
Then it goes back to the
left Ventricle, Where it
started
