General 6: From the brain to the heart

Once the blood has released all its oxygen into the brain cells and absorbed carbon dioxide, it returns to the heart.

Gradually, it will also bring the drug molecules from the brain to the heart. The heart pumps the blood through the pulmonary circulation to receive new oxygen. When the blood comes back to the heart, it is pumped on to the rest of the body via the aorta.
