Which of these represents the path of blood flow through the heart?
left atrium → left ventricle → lungs → right atrium → right ventricle |
|
right atrium → right ventricle → lungs → left atrium → left ventricle |
|
right atrium → left ventricle → lungs → left atrium → right ventricle |
|
left atrium → right ventricle → lungs → left atrium → right ventricle |
To provide oxygen to the body, blood flows through the heart in a path formed by the right atrium → right ventricle → lungs → left atrium → left ventricle → body. When blood enters the right side of the heart it is deoxygenated. It enters the left side of the heart oxygenated after traveling to the lungs.

lipase |
The acids produced by the pancreas contain several enzymes that aid in digestion. Lipase converts fat to glycerol and fatty acids. Pancreatic amylase breaks down complex carbohydrates into simple sugars. Trypsin converts polypeptides (the building blocks of protein) into amino acids.
