Question 3 • 2026-2027 EDGE Human Anatomy and Physiology B

Why is forward blood flow important for the circulation process? Check all that apply.

Answer
A
It ensures that the circulation process is successful.
B
It ensures that oxygen-rich blood is delivered to the body.
C
It ensures that oxygen-depleted blood is returned to the lungs.
D
It prevents the closure of arteries.

Explanation

Forward blood flow keeps blood moving through the circulatory system, making circulation effective. It carries oxygen-rich blood to the body and returns oxygen-depleted blood to the lungs, where it can receive oxygen again. It does not prevent arteries from closing, so choice D is not correct.
