Blood being pumped by the heart is circulated in two circuits. One circuit carries blood with high levels of carbon dioxide to the lungs, and the other circuit carries blood with high levels of oxygen to the body.

Answer 2

Answer:

The preferable words for the given fill in the blanks will be -  

Carbon Dioxide

Oxygen

Explanation:

Blood is pumped by the heart is circulated in two circuits. One circuit carries blood with high levels of Carbon Dioxide to the lungs, and the other circuit carries blood with high levels of oxygen to the body.

• When blood goes to the lungs, blood collects all the waste, byproducts and CO₂ from the body and takes it to the lungs for oxygenation.

• When blood comes out from the lungs, it gets oxygenated by the purification process in the lungs and oxygenated blood spreads all over the body.
