Imagine you are a red blood cell just entering the right atria
of your heart. Using the table of structures listed below in column
one, arrange the structures into column two (in order) to trace
your path back to the right atria as you are moved through your
body by the action of your beating heart. Indicate in column three
for each step whether you are an oxygenated or deoxygenated red
blood cell.
