Answer 27

Blood that starts off in the right ventricle of the heart is pumped up into the pulmonary arteries and into the lung tissue. Once the exchange of gases has occurred between the capillaries and the alveoli, the blood runs into the pulmonary arteries and back into the left atrium of the heart. This is the only place in the body in which the veins precede the arteries. 66. The overview of circulation
