It is also called asexual reproduction because asexual reproduction is the process of producing organism from a single parent. The entire organism as such is reproduced. Whereas in mitosis only the cell divides itself and forms two cells. mitosis occurs in asexual reproduction dividing the cells and in turn forming a new cell. Mitosis is a form of asexual reproduction because the exact copy of the parent cell is produced, only one organism is needed for it to occur.

In regard to blood circulation, if you begin with oxygen-poor blood that reaches the heart from the body and is pumped through a

andrew-mc [135]

The cycle runs like this:

Deoxygenated blood enters from the body to the heart via the superior/inferior vena cava. It goes directly to the right atrium and down to the right ventricle. From there it'll pass through the pulmonary artery into the lungs where diffusion will happen in the capillaries. Gas exchanges will occur and the blood will become oxygenated and return to the heart via the pulmonary vein. From the pulmonary vein it will enter back into the left atrium and then will give the final pump of oxygen rich blood into the aorta and then into the entire body.
