Mammalian Circulation Let’s first examine the overall organization of the mammalian cardiovascular system, beginning with the pulmonary circuit. 1. Contraction of the right ventricle pumps blood to the lungs via the 2. pulmonary arteries. As the blood flows through 3. capillary beds in the left and right lungs, it loads O2 and unloads CO2. Oxygen-rich blood returns from the lungs via the pulmonary veins to the 4. left atrium of the heart. Next, the oxygen-rich blood flows into ...
