How does the cardiovascular system connect with the lungs?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Integral: If you unravel the circulatory system, the "right side" of the heart pumps oxygen depleted blood into the lungs for oxygenation, then that blood goes through the "left side" from which it's pumped to the rest of the body.
