Gas exchange will occur in the lungs, allowing ________________________ blood to return to the heart. This cycle of circulation is known as ________________________ circulation. 5. Blood will return to the heart through the right and left ________________________ veins. 6. These pulmonary veins will empty ________________________ blood into the right atrium/left atrium (circle one). 7. As the left atrium contracts, blood will be propelled through the open ________________________ valve and into the ________________________ (heart chamber).
