The Respiratory System

Question 22 • Anatomy & Physiology B

What happens after the respiratory system moves oxygen into the blood?

Answer
A
The circulatory system moves oxygen-rich blood through the lungs.
B
The circulatory system moves the oxygen-rich blood around the entire body.
C
The respiratory system brings oxygen-rich blood to the heart.
D
The circulatory system moves oxygen-poor blood around the body.

Explanation

After oxygen moves from the lungs into the blood, the circulatory system carries that oxygen-rich blood from the heart to tissues throughout the body. Choice B describes this next step. The blood does not travel through the lungs to distribute oxygen; the lungs are where it picks up oxygen.
