Objective 16: Path of blood flow through out the chambers of the heart and through pulmonary and systemic circulations

I used the book and Figure 17.5 to follow the flow of blood through the systemic and pulmonary circuits.  Upon reading the book I learned that he the pulmonary circulation functions to get rid of the waste product carbon dioxide from the blood and to saturate the blood with oxygen.  Also that the systemic circulation functions to deliver oxygenated blood and remove the waste products from all of the tissues in the body.  The figure was a great tool for my understanding of the blood flow and its directions.  I like the arrows showing where it goes through.
