After leaving the heart the blood will take the following path:

• Veins - venules- capillaries - arterioles - arteries

The pathway from the environment to the lungs is as follows:

• Trachea - pharynx - bronchi - larynx - bronchioles - alveoli

• Alveoli - bronchioles - bronchi - trachea - pharynx - larynx

• Larynx - pharynx - trachea - bronchi - bronchioles - alveoli
