Solution

The flow through the lungs is associated with the pulmonary circulation system. Here's a step-by-step explanation:

  1. The process begins when deoxygenated blood is pumped from the right ventricle of the heart into the pulmonary artery.

  2. The pulmonary artery carries the deoxygenated blood into the lungs.

  3. In the lungs, the blood passes through capillaries where it releases carbon dioxide (a waste product) and absorbs oxygen during a process called gas exchange.

  4. The now oxygenated blood is carried back to the heart via the pulmonary veins.

  5. The blood enters the left atrium and then the left ventricle, which pumps the oxygenated blood out to the rest of the body through the systemic circulation system.

So, the pulmonary circulation system is the one associated with a flow through the lungs.
