course taken by the blood through the arteries‚ capillaries‚ and veins and back to the heart. In humans and the higher vertebrates‚ the heart is made up of four chambers the right and left auricles‚ or atria‚ and the right and left ventricles. The right side of the heart pumps oxygen-poor blood from the cells of the body back to the lungs for new oxygen; the left side of the heart receives blood rich in oxygen from the lungs and pumps it through the arteries to the various parts of the body.

journey from the right femoral artery to the lower lobe of the right lung‚ we see many amazing sights. Starting at the femoral vein which is located in the upper right thigh and pelvic region of the body and runs close to the femoral artery.

The nose‚ pharynx‚ larynx‚ trachea and bronchi all work like a system of pipes through which
