pulmonary arterioles carry carbon dioxide rich blood from the right atrium to the lungs-the blood enters the capillary beds surrounding the alveoli, where carbon dioxide is exchanged for oxygen-oxygenated blood exits the lungs through the pulmonary venules to be taken back to the left atrium-from the left atrium, the blood flows to the left ventricle, which pumps it into body-wide circulation
