Question
Chapter 27.4, Problem 2MC
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The pathway of an oxygen molecule from lungs to a cell in the tip of a finger.
Introduction:
The heart forms an essential part of the human circulatory system. It pumps blood throughout the body efficiently and relentlessly. It is attached with a network of blood vessels which help in transporting blood throughout the body. The heart is enclosed and protected in double layer sac.
