Trace the path of a red blood cell in a circuit that takes it from the capillary bed of the right kidney to the capillary bed of the left kidney. Assume that you are doing this for an animal with a double circulation system.
A)capillary bed of right kidney → venules → veins → right atrium → right ventricle → pulmonary arteries →? capillaries of lungs → pulmonary veins → left atrium → left ventricle → aorta → arteries → arterioles → capillary bed of left kidney
B)capillary bed of right kidney → venules → veins → right atrium → right ventricle → pulmonary veins → capillaries of lungs → pulmonary arteries → left atrium → left ventricle → aorta → arteries → arterioles → capillary bed of left kidney
C)capillary bed of right kidney → venules → veins → left atrium → left ventricle → pulmonary arteries → capillaries of lungs → pulmonary veins → right atrium → right ventricle → aorta → arteries → arterioles → capillary bed of left kidney
D)capillary bed of right kidney → arterioles → arteries → aorta → right atrium → right ventricle → pulmonary arteries → capillaries of lungs → pulmonary veins → left atrium → left ventricle → veins → venules → capillary bed of left kidney

The correct path for a red blood cell in a double circulation system is from the capillary bed of the right kidney through venules and veins to the right atrium, then to the right ventricle, through the pulmonary arteries to the lungs, back via pulmonary veins to the left atrium, then to the left ventricle, through the aorta, arteries, and arterioles to the capillary bed of the left kidney.
