Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Blood rich in carbon dioxide travels to the heart, which pumps it to the lungs. Carbon dioxide goes from the capillaries around the alveoli into the alveoli. Then carbon dioxide goes up the bronchioles to the bronchi, and then to the trachea to be exhaled.

Detailed explanation-2: -The purpose of your heart is to pump blood to the organs and tissues of your body that need the oxygen and nutrients it carries. Oxygen-rich blood is pumped out of the left side of your heart (shown on the right in the diagram) into the arteries to these tissues and organs.
