THE DIRECTION OF YOUR BLOOD FLOW

Blood brings to each cell, the oxygen that the body cells must have to stay alive. Blood flow follows one route. It never takes a new path nor does it make a "U-Turn".

Blood starts its journey inside the heart which squeezes the blood out and sends it into the lungs. The blood picks up oxygen from the lungs and turns bright red. The blood circulates back to the heart which now pumps it out again to all parts of the body. The blood delivers oxygen - "food" that the body cells must have. As the blood gives out its oxygen, the blood then turns dark reddish blue. It (the blood) then returns to the heart to start its journey all over again.
