When you breathe your intercostal muscles contract and life the rib cage up and out and the diaphragm contracts and flattens.
This means there is more volume and so air rushed in to fill the space which decreases the pressure and fills your lungs with air
Exhaling air is the opposite of this.
William Harvey discovered that the heart pumped blood around the body.
Lungs-picks up oxygen-pulmonary vein-l.atrium-l. ventricle-aorta-body-capillaries and oxygen is dropped and carbon dioxide is picked up-superior vena cava-inferior vena cava-r atrium-r ventricle- pulmonary artery
arteris carry blood away from heart
veins carry blood towards heart
capillaries carry blood between artersi and veins
