  1. The left side of the heart pumps blood to the body through the aorta.  The right side pumps blood to the lungs for gas exchange (O2 for CO2).


  2. The left side. The aorta carries oxygen rich blood from the left side of the heart to the rest of the body also referred to as the systemic circuit.

  3. the left side generally pumps blood to the rest of the body, but the right side is what "oxiginates" the blood.

  4. The right side of the heart takes in deoxygenated blood from the body and and then pumps it to the lungs to get oxygenated.

    The oxygenated blood then enters the LEFT side of the heart and is then pumped through the aorta and distributed throughout the body again.
