Working of Human blood circulatory system takes place in the steps below:
- When the muscles of all the four chambers are relaxed, the pulmonary vein brings the oxygenated blood from the lungs in the left atrium of the heart.
- When the left atrium contracts, the oxygenated blood is pushed into the left ventricle through valve V .
- When the left ventricle contracts, the oxygenated blood enters the main artery called aorta from which it goes to the different body organs through small branches called arterioles and capillaries.
- The main artery carries the blood to all the organs of the body head, arms etc except the lungs. The oxygenated blood gives off oxygen, digested food and dissolved materials to the body cells. The carbon-dioxide produced in the cells enters the blood. The deoxygenated blood enters main vein called vena cava which carried it to the right atrium of the heart.
- When the right atrium contracts, the deoxygenated blood enters right ventricle through valve V .
- When the right ventricle contracts, the deoxygenated blood enters the lungs through pulmonary artery and releases carbon-dioxide and absorbs fresh oxygen from air. The blood becomes oxygenated again and is sent to the left atrium of heart by pulmonary vein for circulation in the body. This whole process is repeated continuously.
