Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The ____ bring blood with carbon dioxide to the heart and lungs, then the ____ pump oxygenated blood back to the body.
A
capillaries, arteries
B
arteries, veins
C
veins, arteries
D
arteries, valves
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The circulatory system is made up of blood vessels that carry blood away from and towards the heart. Arteries carry blood away from the heart and veins carry blood back to the heart. The circulatory system carries oxygen, nutrients, and hormones to cells, and removes waste products, like carbon dioxide.

Detailed explanation-2: -Oxygen-rich blood flows from the lungs back into the left atrium (LA), or the left upper chamber of the heart, through four pulmonary veins. Oxygen-rich blood then flows through the mitral valve (MV) into the left ventricle (LV), or the left lower chamber.

Detailed explanation-3: -The right ventricle pumps the blood to the lungs where it becomes oxygenated. The oxygenated blood is brought back to the heart by the pulmonary veins which enter the left atrium.

Detailed explanation-4: -The circulatory system (cardiovascular system) pumps blood from the heart to the lungs to get oxygen. The heart then sends oxygenated blood through arteries to the rest of the body. The veins carry oxygen-poor blood back to the heart to start the circulation process over.

Detailed explanation-5: -Once blood travels through the pulmonic valve, it enters your lungs. This is called the pulmonary circulation.
